Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)

    “Every man has to learn the points of the compass again as often as he awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
