Missed Field Goals

Famous quotes containing the words missed, field and/or goals:

    The painters did very well by her;
    it is true, they missed never a line
    of the suave turn of the head
    or subtle shade of lowered eye-lid
    or eye-lids half-raised.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    In the quilts I had found good objects—hospitable, warm, with soft edges yet resistant, with boundaries yet suggesting a continuous safe expanse, a field that could be bundled, a bundle that could be unfurled, portable equipment, light, washable, long-lasting, colorful, versatile, functional and ornamental, private and universal, mine and thine.
    Radka Donnell-Vogt, U.S. quiltmaker. As quoted in Lives and Works, by Lynn F. Miller and Sally S. Swenson (1981)

    If you really think about it, everything is wonderful in this world, everything except for our thoughts and deeds when we forget about the loftier goals of existence, about our human dignity.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
