Discovered

Famous quotes containing the word discovered:

    Perhaps all music, even the newest, is not so much something discovered as something that re-emerges from where it lay buried in the memory, inaudible as a melody cut in a disc of flesh. A composer lets me hear a song that has always been shut up silent within me.
    Jean Genet (1910–1986)

    In my case, self-absorption is completely justified. I have never discovered any other subject quite so worthy of my attention.
    Jay Dratler, U.S. screenwriter, Samuel Hoffenstein (1889–1947)

    Social Security is a government program with a constituency made up of the old, the near old and those who hope or fear to grow old. After 215 years of trying, we have finally discovered a special interest that includes 100 percent of the population. Now we can vote ourselves rich.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)
