Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “The melancholy of having to count souls
    Where they grow fewer and fewer every year
    Is extreme where they shrink to none at all.
    It must be I want life to go on living.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “We only part to meet again.
    Change, as ye list, ye winds: my heart shall be
    The faithful compass that still points to thee.”
    —John Gay (1685–1732)
