Famous quotes containing the word finds:

    “When lovely woman stoops to folly,
    And finds too late that men betray,
    What charm can soothe her melancholy,
    What art can wash her guilt away?”
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

    “Nor has science sufficient humanity, so long as the naturalist overlooks the wonderful congruity which subsists between man and the world; of which he is lord, not because he is the most subtile inhabitant, but because he is its head and heart, and finds something of himself in every great and small thing, in every mountain stratum, in every new law of color, fact of astronomy, or atmospheric influence which observation or analysis lay open.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “In every ascetic morality man prays to one part of himself as God, and to do so he finds it necessary to demonize the remaining part.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
