University Field

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or field:

“Priests are not men of the world; it is not intended that they should be; and a University training is the one best adapted to prevent their becoming so.”

“Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
