Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
“We only part to meet again.
Change, as ye list, ye winds: my heart shall be
The faithful compass that still points to thee.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
