Famous quotes containing the word extent:

    “To some extent I liken slavery to death.”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    “The extent to which a parent is able to see a child’s world through that child’s eyes depends very much on the parent’s ability to appreciate the differences between herself and her child and to respect those differences. Your own children need you to accept them for who they are, not who you would like them to be.”
    —Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    “... whatever men do or know or experience can make sense only to the extent that it can be spoken about. There may be truths beyond speech, and they may be of great relevance to man in the singular, that is, to man in so far as he is not a political being, whatever else he may be. Men in the plural, that is, men in so far as they live and move and act in this world, can experience meaningfulness only because they can talk with and make sense to each other and to themselves.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
