Discovered

Famous quotes containing the word discovered:

    Many of us, whether in the jungles of Asia or on the streets of Chicago, had discovered that noble causes can lead to ignoble actions and that we were capable of sacrificing honor to a sense of efficacy.
    Linda Grant (b. 1949)

    What is to be taught I learn; what is to be discovered I seek; what is to be prayed for I sought from the gods.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    ...I discovered that I could take a risk and survive. I could march in Philadelphia. I could go out in the street and be gay even in a dress or a skirt without getting shot. Each victory gave me courage for the next one.
    Martha Shelley, U.S. author and social activist. As quoted in Making History, part 3, by Eric Marcus (1992)
