Bloomfield Undertook Field

Famous quotes containing the words undertook and/or field:

    As for your high towers and monuments, there was a crazy fellow once in this town who undertook to dig through to China, and he got so far that, as he said, he heard the Chinese pots and kettles rattle; but I think that I shall not go out of my way to admire the hole which he made.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Because mothers and daughters can affirm and enjoy their commonalities more readily, they are more likely to see how they might advance their individual interests in tandem, without one having to be sacrificed for the other.
    —Mary Field Belenky (20th century)
