Yard Field Goal

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

    I’ve stayed in the front yard all my life.
    I want a peek at the back
    Where it’s rough and untended and hungry weed grows.
    A girl gets sick of a rose.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Vigil strange I kept on the field one night;
    When you my son and my comrade dropt at my side that day,
    One look I but gave which your dear eyes return’d with a look I
    shall never forget,
    One touch of your hand to mine O boy, reach’d up as you lay on the ground,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    What is it that endowed things with meaning, value, significance? The creating heart, which desired, and, out of its desire, created. It created joy and woe. It wanted to satiate itself with woe. We must take all the suffering that has been endured by men and animals upon ourselves and affirm it, and possess a goal in which it acquires reason.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
