Famous quotes containing the words spoken word, spoken, word and/or field:

    First it must be known that only a spoken word or a conventional sign is an equivocal or univocal term; therefore a mental content or concept is, strictly speaking, neither equivocal nor univocal.
    William of Occam (c. 1285–1349)

    Artists broken against her,
    Astray, lost in the villages,
    Mistrusted, spoken against,
    Lovers of beauty, starved,
    Thwarted with systems,
    Helpless against the control;
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    Never had he felt the joy of the word more sweetly, never had he known so clearly that Eros dwells in language.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
    My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
    My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
    And all my good is but vain hope of gain:
    The day is past, and yet I saw no sun,
    And now I live, and now my life is done.
    Chidiock Tichborne (1558–1586)
