Famous quotes containing the word finds:
“We find that even the parents who justify spanking to themselves are defensive and embarrassed about it....I suspect that deep in the memory of every parent are the feelings that had attended his own childhood spankings, the feelings of humiliation, of helplessness, of submission through fear. The parent who finds himself spanking his own child cannot dispel the ghosts of his own childhood.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“As one who strives a hill to climb,
Who never climbed before:
Who finds it in a little time,
Grow every moment less sublime,
And votes the thing a bore:”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Whoever undertakes to create soon finds himself engaged in creating himself. Self-transformation and the transformation of others have constituted the radical interest of our century, whether in painting, psychiatry, or political action.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
