Famous quotes containing the words extreme, left and/or wing:
“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.

—Henry David David (1817–1862)
“Franklin,—Washington,—they were left off without dying; they were merely missing one day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.”
