Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or extremity:
““All men live in suffering
I know as few can know,
Whether they take the upper road
Or stay content on the low....””

“But before the extremity of the Cape had completely sunk, it appeared like a filmy sliver of land lying flat on the ocean, and later still a mere reflection of a sand-bar on the haze above. Its name suggests a homely truth, but it would be more poetic if it described the impression which it makes on the beholder.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
