Famous quotes containing the word extent:

    “To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    “We now talk of our killed and wounded. There is however a very happy feeling. Those who escape regret of course the loss of comrades and friends, but their own escape and safety to some extent modifies their feelings.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
