Home Run Record

Famous quotes containing the words home, run and/or record:

    To-day ... when material prosperity and well earned ease and luxury are assured facts from a national standpoint, woman’s work and woman’s influence are needed as never before; needed to bring a heart power into this money getting, dollar-worshipping civilization; needed to bring a moral force into the utilitarian motives and interests of the time; needed to stand for God and Home and Native Land versus gain and greed and grasping selfishness.
    Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    true pleasure
    Lives in measure,
    Which if men forsake,
    Blinded they into folly run and grief for pleasure take.
    —Unknown. Love Winged My Hopes and Taught Me How to Fly (l. 3–6)

    Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.
    Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
