~Heather Kozar

After a few months in my parents’ basement, I took an apartment near the state university, where I discovered both crystal methamphetamine and conceptual art. Either one of these things are dangerous, but in combination they have the potential to destroy entire civilizations.
~David Sedaris

~

You know when you read that someone has to leave a show or a tour because they had ‘nervous exhaustion’? Well, I had one of those and discovered that I was quite close to death. I always assumed that my lifestyle was going to take me at an early age, but when it was actually occurring I was, ‘Not yet!’ I pulled back.
~David Johansen

You can have a spiritual awakening and discover a new side of you at any age. And best of all, love can happen at any age. Life can just start to get exciting when you’re in your 40s and 50s. You have to believe that.
~Salma Hayek

~

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

~James Joyce

~

We’re living in a time when the world has suddenly discovered India because it’s run out of raw material for its imagination. The raw materials for imagination are inexhaustible here.
~Deepak Chopra

~Terry Brooks

Nobody is bored when he is trying to make something that is beautiful, or to discover something that is true.
~William Ralph Inge

Doubtless there are things in nature which have not yet been seen. If an artist discovers them, he opens the way for his successors.
~Paul Cezanne

The very greatest things – great thoughts, discoveries, inventions – have usually been nurtured in hardship, often pondered over in sorrow, and at length established with difficulty.
~Samuel Smiles

His imagination conceived and bore – worlds; but nothing in these worlds became alive until he discovered its true and living name. The name was the breath of life; and, sooner or later, he invariably found it.
~Algernon H Blackwood

In Nicaragua, liberty, equality and the rule of law were the stuff of dreams. But in Paris I discovered the value of those words.
~Bianca Jagger

No matter where I go – London, Beirut, Jerusalem, Washington, Beijing, or Bangalore – I’m always looking to rediscover that land of ten thousand lakes where politics actually worked to make people’s lives better, not pull them apart.
~Thomas Friedman

~

We campaigned on the fact that we were going to have to take difficult decisions because of the state of the public finances. When we got into government we discovered that actually the public finances were in an even worse state than we thought.
~Theresa May

Maybe that first, gigantic deficit the Reaganites piled up was an accident, just a combination of deluded “supply side” tax cuts and a huge bag of good stuff for the Pentagon. But pretty quickly conservatives discovered that deficits, when done correctly, did something really cool: deficits defunded the Left.
~Thomas Frank

If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: in love, we find out who we want to be; in war, we find out who we are.
~Kristin Hannah

Time discovers truth.

~Milton Friedman

Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be.

~Mikhail Bakunin (Russian anarchist)

~

If you have learned how to disagree without being disagreeable, then you have discovered the secrete of getting along – whether it be business, family relations, or life itself.
~Bernard Meltzer

~David Seabury

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.
~Alexis de Tocqueville

~

If we are to negotiate the coming years safely, we may need a new kind of leadership. To put it more precisely, we need the rediscovery of an ancient kind of leadership that has rarely been given the prominence it deserves. I mean the leader as teacher.
~Jonathan Sacks

Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.

~

The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that’s why it’s so essential to preserving individual freedom.

~Robert Morgan

Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
~William Glasser

Reasoning draws a conclusion, but does not make the conclusion certain, unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience.
~Roger Bacon

~

Sixty years ago I knew everything; now I know nothing; education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.
~Will Durant

We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.
~Maria Montessori

In high school, I discovered myself. I was interested in race relations and the legal profession. I read about Lincoln and that he believed the law to be the most difficult of professions.
~Constance Baker Motley

I went whole hog at the actor’s lifestyle – really embraced it. I had by then known how much I loved acting already, because I discovered acting from a teacher in the seminary – that’s the first place I ever did it, in the seminary.
~Peter Jurasik

The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
~Mark Van Doren

—

Discovery requires courage and acceptance that we are not in control, and that the future is uncertain.
~Bryant H McGill

We need to find the courage to say no to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.
~Barbara de Angelis

§ VIDEO:

Acting is a very personal process. It has to do with expressing your own personality, and discovering the character you’re playing through your own experience – so we’re all different.
~Ian Mckellen

I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act, so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.
~Cate Blanchett

The excitement for me lies not so much in interviewing the hard-to-get famous person, but the person whom you are about to discover. You know, like maybe the character actors who are just coming into their own and you’re realizing how great they are.
~Terry Gross

~

I never felt cool growing up. I was a bit of an outsider, but I discovered theatre very early on, which got me through.
~Eric McCormack

When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I’d discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.
~Morgan Freeman

~

I first wanted to be a psychiatrist. I decided against that in medical school when I discovered that psychiatrists didn’t, in reality, do what they did on TV.
~Benjamin Carson

In the theatre, people talk. Talk, talk until the cows come home about journeys of discovery and about what Hazlitt thought of a line of Shakespeare. I can’t stand it.
~Anthony Hopkins

I have this embedded faith in the process through which films of a certain type get discovered on longer timelines.
~Edward Norton

~

A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.
~L Frank Baum

Young men! I invite you to honest, prayerful heart-study. Every man has in himself a continent of undiscovered character. Happy is he who acts the Columbus to his own soul!
~Rev T L Cuyler

~

One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.
~Blaise Pascal

A wise man travels to discover himself.
~James Russell Lowell

The world won’t discover you until you find yourself.

~Barbra Streisand

Yes, I worry that somebody will discover the truth about me — and not tell me what it is.

~

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It’s a journey of recovery. It’s a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It’s already there.
~Billy Corgan

You can’t get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you’re doing. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover will be yourself.
~Alan Alda

The delights of self-discovery are always available.
~Gail Sheehy

The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.
~David Herbert Lawrence

My first care the following morning was, to devise some means of discovering the man in the grey cloak.
~Adelbert von Chamisso

I might have some character traits that some might see as innocence or naive. That’s because I discovered peace and happiness in my soul. And with this knowledge, I also see the beauty of human life.
~Tobey Maguire

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.
~William James

There is no such thing as the pursuit of happiness, but there is the discovery of joy.
~Joyce Grenfell

To find joy in work is to discover the fountain of youth.
~Pearl S. Buck

I have discovered the secret of happiness – it is work, either with the hands or the head. The moment I have something to do, the draughts are open and my chimney draws, and I am happy.
~John Burroughs

~

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
~Samuel Smiles

It’s true that by blundering about, we stumbled on gold, but the fact remains that we were looking for gold.
~Francis Crick

§ MUSIC:

I discovered music, I knew what I wanted to do.
~Rick Springfield

~

I loved the Cure and Bauhaus and the Smiths. The people in my town weren’t privy to that kind of music and I got abused. I discovered the microphone to get out some of that angst.
~Fred Durst

If one more ‘journalist’ makes a cavalier statement about me and my band, I will personally or with my fans’ help, greet them at their home and discover just how much they believe in their freedom of speech.
~Marilyn Manson

~

My music must reflect whatever’s going on in my mind, and my life needs to evolve for me to discover who it is I’m becoming.
~Shania Twain

My sister and I shared a bedroom our entire lives and I believe she discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I’m four years younger. So from the age of 7 until 17 we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia in our room, even those little stuffed Beatles that went on stands that are dressed as the Sgt. Pepper band.
~Christina Ricci

We have no general conceptual thrust for the band, other than trying to make music that keeps our interest. When things are novel, they are probably things we have discovered by accident or investigation rather than by design.
~Steve Albini

~

But my strength was in singing and songwriting, which was a new discovery for me when I was 18. And I decided if I pursued songwriting, which is what was closest to my heart, then there would be no competition. I would just live my life being myself and living my dream.
~Jason Mraz

I heard Nirvana, and discovered that songs could be like poetry, but a little bit more refined: you didn’t have to have 20 verses to get your point across.
~Justin Townes Earle

What I’ve discovered is that in art, as in music, there’s a lot of truth ‒ and then there’s a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It’s the moment that the audience falls in love.
~Lady Gaga

The basic discovery about any people is the discovery of the relationship between men and women.
~Pearl S Buck

Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.
~Alexander Smith

The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.
~Jiddu Krishnamurti

Women will not talk about football unless one of them is in love with a football player, and then suddenly you discover that they know everything that is to be known about it.
~Jeanne Moreau

When two people first meet, they can only have a very ordinary kind of friendship. But when you begin to understand each other, when you get close to them, you discover that you’re suddenly eager to know him or her even better.
~Zhang Ziyi

~

The bitterest creature under heaven is the wife who discovers that her husband’s bravery is only bravado, that his strength is only a uniform, that his power is but a gun in the hands of a fool.
~Pearl S Buck

The last thing a woman will consent to discover in a man whom she loves, or on whom she simply depends, is want of courage.
~Joseph Conrad

You’d think that in this age, especially in the 21st century – especially with all the technology and all the discoveries that we’ve made – that we would figure out how to tackle abuse.
~Tori Amos

~

We must declare ourselves, become known; allow the world to discover this subterranean life of ours which connects kings and farm boys, artists and clerks. Let them see that the important thing is not the object of love, but the emotion itself.
~Gore Vidal

I’m a hopeless romantic and I believe that you can find love in many different places and be very conflicted. I’ve discovered as I’ve grown up that life is far more complicated than you think it is when you’re a kid. It isn’t just a straightforward fairytale.
~Rachel McAdams

Unfenced by law, the unmarried lover can quit a bad relationship at any time. But you – the legally married person who wants to escape doomed love – may soon discover that a significant portion of your marriage contract belongs to the State, and that it sometimes takes a very long while for the State to grant you your leave.
~Elizabeth Gilbert

Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
~Thomas Moore

I used to love dogs until I discovered cats.
~Nafisa Joseph

—

A few years ago, kids from poor areas in France were asked to draw items of food. For a chicken, they drew a drumstick. For a fish, they drew a fish stick. Those are extremes, but there is a lot that needs to be done to help children discover good food.
~Joel Robuchon

After my pregnancy, I discovered I have an allergy to yeast. Problem is, all the food I love has yeast in it. So I have to relearn how to cook.
~Tia Mowry

The discovery of a new dish confers more happiness on humanity, than the discovery of a new star.
~Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

~

She discovered with great delight that one does not love one’s children just because they are one’s children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.
~Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I had a very supportive family environment that gave me room to explore and discover things about myself.
~Brad Pitt

We need to rediscover the idea of the common good and work together to build a home.
~Jonathan Sacks

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.
~Joseph Addison

~P G Wodehouse

Great moments in science: Einstein discovers that time is actually money.
~Gary Larson

—

I discovered something amazing, which has caused a lot of controversy – the fountain of youth. I have to keep it a secret!
~David Copperfield

For some reason I can’t explain, artist and musicians tend to look younger than our age. Being in music, you need this youthful sense of discovery and wonder for what you’re doing and keep your imagination open. That’s a youthful way of looking at life and I think that reflects in how you age.
~Joshua Bell

I think I’ve discovered the secret of life – you just hang around until you get used to it.
~Charles M Schulz

—

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
~Henry David Thoreau

Strange, is it not? That of the myriads who
Before us pass’d the door of Darkness through,
Not one returns to tell us of the Road
Which to discover we must travel too.
~Edward Fitzgerald

The origin of the absurd idea of immortal life is easy to discover; it is kept alive by hope and fear, by childish faith, and by cowardice.
~Clarence Darrow

Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.
~Carl Sagan

Only through destroying myself can I discover the greater power of my spirit.
~Chuck Palahniuk

You ride off into the sunset and discover it’s the sunrise.
~Robert Brault

There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you’ve made the discovery. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you’ve made a discovery.
~Enrico Fermi

The most important of my discoveries have been suggested to me by my failures.
~Humphrey Davy

It is a profound mistake to think that everything has been discovered; as well as think the horizon the boundary of the world.
~Lemierre

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance ‒ it is the illusion of knowledge.
~Daniel J Boorstin

~

The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
~Albert Einstein

Discovery is always rape of the natural world. Always.
~Michael Crichton

~

No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.
~Sir Isaac Newton

Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is, the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings, the chance to glimpse things never seen before, the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.
~Lewis Thomas

If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent.
~Sir Isaac Newton

No man ever made a great discovery without the exercise of the imagination.
~George Henry Lewes

It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover.
~Henri Poincare

Nearly every great discovery in science has come as the result of providing a new question rather than a new answer.
~Paul A Meglitsch

Through the unknown, we’ll find the new.
~Charles Baudelaire

A new principle is an exhaustible source of new views.
~Vauvenargues

~

Printing, gunpowder, and the mariner’s needle (compass), these three have changed the whole face and state of things throughout the world.
~Francis Bacon

I do not much wish well to discoveries, for I am always afraid they will end in conquest and robbery.
~Samuel Johnson

But the first the general public learned about the discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb. A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction.
~Joseph Rotblat

I don’t believe medical discoveries are doing much to advance human life. As fast as we create ways to extend it we are inventing ways to shorten it.
~Christiaan Barnard

~

Of course, Einstein was a very great scientist indeed, and I have enormous respect for him, and great admiration for the discoveries he made. But he was very committed to a view of the objectivity of the physical world.
~John Polkinghorne

Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles; he can only discover them.
~Thomas Paine

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’ but ‘That’s funny…’
~Isaac Asimov

~

Discovery, they believe, is inevitable. So they just try to do it first. That’s the game in science.

~William James

~

It was a shock to people of the nineteenth century when they discovered, from observations science had made, that many features of the biological world could be ascribed to the elegant principle of natural selection.
~Michael Behe

It is a shock to us in the twentieth century to discover, from observations science has made, that the fundamental mechanisms of life cannot be ascribed to natural selection, and therefore were designed. But we must deal with our shock as best we can and go on.
~Michael Behe

~

The belief that there are other life forms in the universe is a matter of faith. There is not a single shred of evidence for any other life forms, and in forty years of searching, none has been discovered. There is absolutely no evidentiary reason to maintain this belief.
~Michael Crichton

Greater even than the greatest discovery is to keep open the way to future discovery.
~John Jacob Abel

~

Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
~Aleister Crowley

People wouldn’t even go into science unless there was something much bigger to be discovered, something that is transcendent.
~David Eagleman

~

A great discovery is a fact whose appearance in science gives rise to shining ideas, whose light dispels many obscurities and shows us new paths.
~Claude Bernard

I was discovering that if you just set people in motion, they’ll heal themselves.
~Gabrielle Roth

~

If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.
~Stephen Hawking

The most wonderful discovery made by scientists is science itself.
~Jacob Bronowski

~Helen Hayes

…when you reread a classic you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before. A lesser book on rereading often reveals new subtleties. A great one is more like an instrument of self-discovery.
~Clifton Fadiman

~

There are numerous cases of that, where one of our writers discovers another writer whom he likes, and we then take that book on. So it’s a very close relationship. We can do that because we’re so small.
~James Laughlin

There is a great discovery still to be made in literature, that of paying literary men by the quantity they do not write.
~Thomas Carlyle

When you write biographies, whether it’s about Ben Franklin or Einstein, you discover something amazing: They are human.
~Walter Isaacson

Literature is the art of discovering something extraordinary about ordinary people, and saying with ordinary words something extraordinary.
~Boris Pasternak

Then I discovered I loved writing poetry more than fiction.
~George Murray

The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.
~Paul Valery

Poetry has been to me its own exceeding great reward; it has given me the habit of wishing to discover the good and beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me.

It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
~Aldous Huxley

forecast

clouds are kids that play the sky
swept by currents, beyond knowing why
swayed by winds of drift and change
uncertain future, shape and range
roughed up, buffeted by raging storms
discover lightning, strikes that harm
full at the mercy of outside forces
when earth and heaven stage divorces

revelation #21

to discover your uncovering
torrid lust hot and sweltering
revenge porn and your ruining
truth online of your adultering
drooling interest come and gone
having seen you, nothing on

~

vexed

stymied by a hexed duality
discovered, an exotic sexuality
beauty’s come-hither complexity
reclining curves’ defining sensuality
but love is best encountered distantly
lust burns for you, just not close to me
you might all be had if loved platonically

~

monumental

belatedly, the discovery of eyes
the light they’re receiving
their secrets revealing
the sights that they’re seeing
believers perceiving
the rest unbelieving
tattletale micro-expressions
simpering love to probing aggression
caught in the act when first realized
nothing compares to a mirror surprised

~

undiscovered nude
uncovered beauty of you
too good to be true
goddess at bath hidden view
blinded by sight, worth it tho

discover the blue
turn burning red at sunset
sky was the limit
rainbow promise against flood
self-kindled flame contract void

~

wet discovery
squishy brown ooze between toes
park picnic croquet

~

serendipity
discovered serenity
took just you and me

~

chocolate hazelnut
ground coffee mix, toast muffin
a discovery
