Famous quotes containing the word search:

    The meaning of the Street in all ways and at all times is the need for sharing life with others and the search for community.
    Virginia Hamilton (b. 1936)

    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)

    The search for the truth is the most important work in the whole world, and the most dangerous.
    James Clavell (b. 1924)
