Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “When raging love with extreme pain
    Most cruelly distrains my heart,
    When that my tears, as floods of rain,
    Bear witness of my woeful smart;
    When sighs have wasted so my breath
    That I lie at the point of death,”
    —Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    “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)
