Sara Bard Field

Famous quotes containing the words bard field, bard and/or field:

    ... men and women are not yet free.... The slavery of greed endures. Little child workers, the hope of the future, are sacrificed to industry. Young men are sent out by the billion to die for profits.... We must destroy industrial slavery and build industrial democracy.... The people everywhere must come into possession of the earth [second, third, and fourth ellipses in source].
    —Sara Bard Field (1882–1974)

    The bard must be with good intent
    no more his, but hers;
    must throw away his pen and paint,
    kneel with worshippers.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    An enormously vast field lies between “God exists” and “there is no God.” The truly wise man traverses it with great difficulty. A Russian knows one or the other of these two extremes, but is not interested in the middle ground. He usually knows nothing, or very little.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
