Discover
In Forward the Foundation, Amaryl is the one to discover Wanda Seldon's mentalic powers, when Wanda reads his mind. On his deathbed, Amaryl tells Seldon about this incident and urges Seldon to follow up on it. Just before death, Amaryl then conceives of a large group of mentalics keeping humanity on the original track of psychohistory; this idea would come to fruition as the Second Foundation.

Famous quotes containing the word discover:
“The worst feature of this double consciousness is, that the two lives, of the understanding and of the soul, which we lead, really show very little relation to each other; never meet and measure each other: one prevails now, all buzz and din; and the other prevails then, all infinitude and paradise; and, with the progress of life, the two discover no greater disposition to reconcile themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Since you know you cannot see yourself
So well as by reflection, I, your glass,
Will modestly discover to yourself
That of yourself which yet you know not of.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The task of the artist at any time is uncompromisingly simple—to discover what has not yet been done, and to do it.”
—Craig Raine (b. 1944)
