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

    She is as in a field a silken tent
    At midday when a sunny summer breeze
    Has dried the dew and all its ropes relent,

    What, girl, though grey
    Do something mingle with our younger brown, yet ha’ we
    A brain that nourishes our nerves, and can
    Get goal for goal of youth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
