Famous quotes containing the words detect, electric and/or fields:
“If the individuals who compose the purest circles of aristocracy in Europe, the guarded blood of centuries, should pass in review, in such manner as that we could, at leisure, and critically inspect their behavior, we might find no gentleman, and no lady; for, although excellent specimens of courtesy and high-breeding would gratify us in the assemblage, in the particulars, we should detect offence. Because, elegance comes of no breeding, but of birth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Remember dancing in
those electric shoes?
Remember?
Remember music
and beware.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Leave your worry on the doorstep.”
—Dorothy Fields (1904–1974)
