Home Runs

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or runs:

    Chinese were born ... with an accumulated wisdom, a natural sophistication, an intelligent naivete, and unless they were transplanted too young, these qualities ripened in them.... If ever I am homesick for China, now that I am home in my own country, it is when I discover here no philosophy. Our people have opinions and creeds and prejudices and ideas but as yet no philosophy.
    Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)

    Between extremities
    Man runs his course;
    A brand, or flaming breath,
    Comes to destroy
    All those antinomies
    Of day and night....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
