Field Quotes (page 26)

Charlotte Bronte quote: "I was left there alone - winner of the field. It was the..."
I was left there alone - winner of the field. It was the hardest battle I had fought, and the first victory I had gained. Charlotte Bronte
In another moment he was flying down the street with his pail and a tingling rear, Tom was whitewashing with vigor, and Aunt Polly was retiring from the field with a slipper in her hand and triumph in her eye. Mark Twain
Latter-day scepticism is fond of calling itself progressive; but scepticism is really reactionary. Scepticism goes back; it attempts to unsettle what has already been settled. Instead of trying to break up new fields with its plough, it simply tries to break up the plough. Gilbert K. Chesterton
A question. So what are people supposed to do if they want to avoid a collision (thud!) but still lie in the field, enjoying the clouds drifting by, listening to the grass grow—not thinking, in other words? Sound hard? Not at all. Logically, it’s easy. C’est simple. The answer is dreams. Dreaming on and on. Entering the world of dreams, and never coming out. Living in dreams for the rest of time. In dreams you don’t need to make any distinctions between things. Not at all. Boundaries don’t... Haruki Murakami
That the sum of a man's life was not where he wound up but in the details that brought him there. That we made mistakes. I closed my eyes, sick of the riddles, and to my surprise all I could see were dandelions-as if they had been painted on the fields of my imagination, a hundred thousand suns. And I remembered something else that makes us human: faith, the only weapon in our arsenal to battle doubt. Jodi Picoult
Umberto Eco quote: "Love flourishes in expectation. Expectation strolls through..."
Love flourishes in expectation. Expectation strolls through the spacious fields of Time towards Opportunity. Umberto Eco
Through neglect, ignorance, or inability, the new intellectual Borgias cram hairballs down our throats and refuse us the convulsion that could make us well. They have forgotten, if they ever knew, the ancient knowledge that only by being truly sick can one regain health. Even beasts know when it is good and proper to throw up. Teach me how to be sick then, in the right time and place, so that I may again walk in the fields and with the wise and smiling dogs know enough to chew sweet grass. Ray Bradbury
The theologian who labors without joy is not a theologian at all. Sulky faces, morose thoughts and boring ways of speaking are intolerable in this field. Karl Barth
James Gould Cozzens quote: "The first test of ability and intelligence is to find a field..."
The first test of ability and intelligence is to find a field of endeavor in which profits are large and risks small. James Gould Cozzens
The big bankers of the world, who practise the terrorism of money, are more powerful than kings and field marshals, even more than the Pope of Rome himself. They never dirty their hands. They kill no-one: they limit themselves to applauding the show. Eduardo Galeano
So I say a name, even if self-bestowed, is better than a number. In the register of the potter's field I shall soon have both. What wealth! Ambrose Bierce
Neil Gaiman quote: "And, too ignorant to be scared, too young to be awed, Tristan..."
And, too ignorant to be scared, too young to be awed, Tristan Thorn traveled beyond the fields we know... Neil Gaiman
We must therefore rediscover, after the natural world, the social world, not as an object or sum of objects, but as a permanent field or dimension of existence. Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Theban who acquires his wealth by inheritance builds his mansion with the weak poor's money. The clergyman erects his temple upon the graves and bones of the devoted worshippers. The prince grasps the fellah's arms while the priest empties his pocket; the ruler looks upon the sobs of the fields with frowning face, and the bishop consoles them with his smile, and between the frown of the tiger and the smile of the wolf the flock is perished; the ruler claims himself as king if the law, and the... Khalil Gibran
Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch, which ought to be applied as sparingly as possible. I dislike the stuff. I do not believe in it, for its own sake, at all... My lawgivers are Erasmus and Montaigne, not Moses and St Paul. My temple stands not upon Mount Moriah but in the Elysian Field where even the immoral are admitted. My motto is 'Lord, I disbelieve? help thou my unbelief. E. M. Forster
