Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “But extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones but rather by equally extreme, but inverted, positions.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Wi’ joy unfeigned brothers and sisters meet,
    An’ each for other’s weelfare kindly spiers:
    The social hours, swift-winged, unnoticed fleet;
    Each tells the uncos that he sees or hears;
    The parents, partial, eye their hopeful years;
    Anticipation forward points the view:”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
