Famous quotes containing the word finds:

    When women reach the age of maturity, Mother Nature sometimes overworks their frustration to the point of irrationalism. Like the middle-aged man...who finds himself looking longingly at a girl in her early twenties.
    —Mark Hanna. Nathan Hertz. Dr. Von Loeb (Otto Waldis)

    A man with convictions finds an answer for everything. Convictions are the best form of protection against the living truth.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    To the young mind, every thing is individual, stands by itself. By and by, it finds how to join two things, and see in them one nature; then three, then three thousand; and so, tyrannized over by its own unifying instinct, it goes on tying things together, diminishing anomalies, discovering roots running underground, whereby contrary and remote things cohere, and flower out from one stem.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
