Extremely Rare

Famous quotes containing the words extremely rare, extremely and/or rare:

    A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the hue and fragrance of the thought; as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Raising a daughter is an extremely political act in this culture. Mothers have been placed in a no-win situation with their daughters: if they teach their daughters simply how to get along in a world that has been shaped by men and male desires, then they betray their daughters’ potential But, if they do not, they leave their daughters adrift in a hostile world without survival strategies.
    Elizabeth Debold (20th century)

    At twelve I was determined to shoot only
    For honor; at twenty not to shoot at all;
    I know at thirty-three that one must shoot
    As often as one gets the rare chance—
    In killing there is more than commentary.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
