Famous quotes containing the words broad, subject and/or fields:
“... a curious superstition. This is the belief that, if there be introspection at all, it must give exhaustive and infallible information.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
“The writer, like a swimmer caught by an undertow, is borne in an unexpected direction. He is carried to a subject which has awaited him—a subject sometimes no part of his conscious plan. Reality, the reality of sensation, has accumulated where it was least sought. To write is to be captured—captured by some experience to which one may have given hardly a thought.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“And sweet it was to dream of Fatherland,
Of child, and wife, and slave; but evermore
Most weary seemed the sea, weary the oar,
Weary the wandering fields of barren foam.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
