Yard Field Goal

Famous quotes containing the words yard, field and/or goal:

    For this your mother sweated in the cold,
    For this you bled upon the bitter tree:

    A paper wreath; a day at home for me.

    It is through attentive love, the ability to ask “What are you going through?” and the ability to hear the answer that the reality of the child is both created and respected.
    —Mary Field Belenky (20th century)

    From top to bottom of the ladder, greed is aroused without knowing where to find ultimate foothold. Nothing can calm it, since its goal is far beyond all it can attain. Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.
    Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
