Famous quotes containing the word finds:

    When lovely woman stoops to folly,
    And finds too late that men betray,
    What charm can soothe her melancholy,
    What art can wash her guilt away?
    Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

    But I owe something to Vincent, and that is, in the consciousness of having been useful to him, the confirmation of my own original ideas about painting. And also, at difficult moments, the remembrance that one finds others unhappier than oneself.
    Paul Gauguin (1848–1903)

    We may love and not elevate one another. The love that takes us as it finds us degrades us.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
