Famous quotes containing the word fields:

    Genius is the naturalist or geographer of the supersensible regions, and draws their map; and, by acquainting us with new fields of activity, cools our affection for the old. These are at once accepted as the reality, of which the world we have conversed with is the show.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
