Field

Famous quotes containing the word field:

    Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    Love to chawnk green apples an’ go swimmin’ in the
    lake.—
    Hate to take the castor-ile they give for belly-ache!
    ‘Most all the time, the whole year round, there ain’t no flies on
    me,
    But jest ‘fore Christmas I’m as good as I kin be!
    —Eugene Field (1850–1895)

    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)
