Famous quotes containing the word finds:

    Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas.
    Günther Grass (b. 1927)

    Receive what cheer you may;
    The night is long that never finds the day.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I have always hated biography, and more especially, autobiography. If biography, the writer invariably finds it necessary to plaster the subject with praises, flattery and adulation and to invest him with all the Christian graces. If autobiography, the same plan is followed, but the writer apologizes for it.
    Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
