Famous quotes containing the word search:

    Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    Adolescents are travelers, far from home with no native land, neither children nor adults. They are jet-setters who fly from one country to another with amazing speed. Sometimes they are four years old, an hour later they are twenty-five. They don’t really fit anywhere. There’s a yearning for place, a search for solid ground.
    Mary Pipher (20th century)

    We spent them not in toys, in lusts, or wine,
    But search of deep Philosophy,
    Wit, Eloquence, and Poetry,
    Arts which I loved, for they, my Friend, were thine.
    Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
