Seek

Famous quotes containing the word seek:

    I seek in books only to give myself pleasure by honest amusement; or if I study, I seek only the learning that treats of the knowledge of myself and instructs me in how to die well and live well.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    by man’s oppression cursed,
    They seek the second not to lose the first.
    Men, some to bus’ness, some to pleasure take;
    But ev’ry woman is at heart a rake:
