Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “Art knows no happier moment than the opportunity to show the symmetry of an extreme, during that moment of spheric harmony when the dissonance dissolves for the blink of an eye, dissolves into a blissful harmony, when the most extreme opposites, coming together from the greatest alienation, fleetingly touch with lips of the word and of love.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “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)
