Yard Field Goal

Famous quotes containing the words yard, field and/or goal:

    “I’ve stayed in the front yard all my life.
    I want a peek at the back
    Where it’s rough and untended and hungry weed grows.
    A girl gets sick of a rose.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “He stung me first and stung me afterward.
    He rolled me off the field head over heels
    And would not listen to my explanations.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The goal for all blind skiers is more freedom. You don’t have to see where you’re going, as long as you go. In skiing, you ski with your legs and not with your eyes. In life, you experience things with your mind and your body. And if you’re lacking one of the five senses, you adapt.”
    —Lorita Bertraun, Blind American skier. As quoted in WomenSports magazine, p. 29 (January 1976)
