Playing Fields

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or fields:

    “And there were present
    the Picninnies,
    and the Jobillies,
    and the Garyulies,
    and the great Panjandrum himself,
    with the little round button at top;
    and they all fell to playing the game
    of catch-as-catch-can,
    till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.”
    —Samuel Foote (1720–1777)

    “It is not those who till the fields who eat fine rice, nor those who rear the silkworms who wear fine silks.”
