Famous quotes containing the words professional, played and/or grass:
“Virtue and vice suppose the freedom to choose between good and evil; but what can be the morals of a woman who is not even in possession of herself, who has nothing of her own, and who all her life has been trained to extricate herself from the arbitrary by ruse, from constraint by using her charms?... As long as she is subject to mans yoke or to prejudice, as long as she receives no professional education, as long as she is deprived of her civil rights, there can be no moral law for her!”
—Flora Tristan (18031844)
“It was a pretty game, played on the smooth surface of the pond, a man against a loon.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Then cut down the trees when lumber grown,
And theres your pristine earth all freed
From lovely blooming but wasteful weed
And ready again for the grass to own.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
