Place Fields

Famous quotes containing the words place and/or fields:

“It is fair to assume that when women in the past have achieved even a second or third place in the ranks of genius they have shown far more native ability than men have needed to reach the same eminence. Not excused from the more general duties that constitute the cement of society, most women of talent have had but one hand free with which to work out their ideal conceptions.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

“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.)
