Famous quotes containing the word finds:

    A poor beauty finds more lovers than husbands.
    Seventeenth-century English proverb, collected in Outlandish Proverbs, George Herbert (1640)

    Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside.
    Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    In the one instance, the dreamer ... loses sight of this object in a wilderness of deductions and suggestions ... until ... he finds the incitamentum, or first cause of his musings,... forgotten. In my case, the primary object was invariably frivolous, although assuming, through the medium of my distempered vision, a refracted and unreal importance.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
