Yard Field Goal

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

    “For this your mother sweated in the cold,
    For this you bled upon the bitter tree:
    A yard of tinsel ribbon bought and sold;
    A paper wreath; a day at home for me.”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    “the whole field is a
    white desire, empty, a single stem;
    a cluster, flower by flower,
    a pious wish to whiteness gone over—
    or nothing.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    “Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework—an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self- sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life.”
    —Betty Friedan (b. 1921)
