Famous quotes containing the word finds:

    “The Cossack eats Poland,
    Like stolen fruit;
    Her last noble is ruined,
    Her last poet mute:
    Straight, into double band
    The victors divide;
    Half for freedom strike and stand;—
    The astonished Muse finds thousands at her side.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The art of motherhood involves much silent, unobtrusive self-denial, an hourly devotion which finds no detail too minute.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “Converse: Don’t they say that this is where everybody finds out who they are? Huh?
    Hicks: Yeah. What a bummer for the gooks.”
    —Judith Rascoe, U.S. screenwriter, Robert Stone (b. 1939)
