Ice Extent

Famous quotes containing the words ice and/or extent:

    A young person is a person with nothing to learn
    One who already knows that ice does not chill and fire does not burn . . .
    It knows it can spend six hours in the sun on its first
    day at the beach without ending up a skinless beet,
    And it knows it can walk barefoot through the barn
    without running a nail in its feet. . . .
    Meanwhile psychologists grow rich
    Writing that the young are ones’ should not
    undermine the self-confidence of which.
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
