Field Goal Reed

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

    But the old world was restored and we returned

    Of rich and poor. Our victory was our defeat.
    Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)

    The goal in raising one’s child is to enable him, first, to discover who he wants to be, and then to become a person who can be satisfied with himself and his way of life. Eventually he ought to be able to do in his life whatever seems important, desirable, and worthwhile to him to do; to develop relations with other people that are constructive, satisfying, mutually enriching; and to bear up well under the stresses and hardships he will unavoidably encounter during his life.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    At this time in American history, we are like ghosts talking gibberish through different dimensions, and stupid men do not make good make good mediums.
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
