Fields

Famous quotes containing the word fields:

    I never vote for anyone. I always vote against.
    —W.C. Fields (1879–1946)

    I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.
    Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)

    Forget about the precious sight
    of my lover’s face
    that steals away my heart.
    Just seeing the borders
    of the fields on the borders
    of her village
    gives me instant joy.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
