It's a discovery of a story when I write a book, a case of inching ahead on each page and discovering what's beyond in the darkness, beyond where you're writing. Michael Ondaatje
Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words. Northrop Frye
Kids are finding out about the potential for discovery online from other sources; many of them have computers at home, for instance, or their friends have them. Daniel Greenberg
My experience of ships is that on them one makes an interesting discovery about the world. One finds one can do without it completely. Malcolm Bradbury

Paleoanthropology is not a science that ends with the discovery of a bone. One has to have the original to work with. It is a life-long task. Richard Leakey
Reality TV is here, it's been here really since the Carol Levis Discovery Show in 1957. It's never changed. It just looks a bit different. Pete Waterman
Right now we have a closure rate between discovery and exploitation of four to six months. We need to be more in the realm of seven to 10 days. That is an enormous challenge. John W. Thompson
Scientific discovery and scientific knowledge have been achieved only by those who have gone in pursuit of it without any practical purpose whatsoever in view. Max Planck
Second issue is the rapidly accelerating increase in the number of vulnerabilities that get discovered every day. And, equally importantly, is the shortening of time between the discovery of the vulnerability and the release of an exploit. John W. Thompson
