Extreme Ratio

Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or ratio:

    There exists, at the bottom of all abasement and misfortune, a last extreme which rebels and joins battle with the forces of law and respectability in a desperate struggle, waged partly by cunning and partly by violence, at once sick and ferocious, in which it attacks the prevailing social order with the pin-pricks of vice and the hammer-blows of crime.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Official dignity tends to increase in inverse ratio to the importance of the country in which the office is held.
