Famous quotes containing the word extent:
“We now talk of our killed and wounded. There is however a very happy feeling. Those who escape regret of course the loss of comrades and friends, but their own escape and safety to some extent modifies their feelings.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“To the extent to which genius can be conjoined with a merely good human being, Haydn possessed genius. He never exceeds the limits that morality sets for the intellect; he only composes music which has “no past.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“To some extent I liken slavery to death.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
