Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:
“Surrender is a perfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances.”
—Leigh Brackett (1915–1978)
“Sometimes apparent resemblances of character will bring two men together and for a certain time unite them. But their mistake gradually becomes evident, and they are astonished to find themselves not only far apart, but even repelled, in some sort, at all their points of contact.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
