Yard Field Goal

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

    “For this your mother sweated in the cold,
    For this you bled upon the bitter tree:
    A yard of tinsel ribbon bought and sold;
    A paper wreath; a day at home for me.”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    “But the old world was restored and we returned
    To the dreary field and workshop, and the immemorial feud

    Of rich and poor. Our victory was our defeat.”
    —Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)

    “Work, as we usually think of it, is energy expended for a further end in view; play is energy expended for its own sake, as with children’s play, or as manifestation of the end or goal of work, as in “playing” chess or the piano. Play in this sense, then, is the fulfillment of work, the exhibition of what the work has been done for.”
    —Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
