Famous quotes containing the word extent:

    “There is hardly a man clever enough to recognize the full extent of the evil he does.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “We urgently need a debate about the best ways of supporting families in modern America, without blinders that prevent us from seeing the full extent of dependence and interdependence in American life. As long as we pretend that only poor or abnormal families need outside assistance, we will shortchange poor families, overcompensate rich ones, and fail to come up with effective policies for helping families in the middle.”
    —Stephanie Coontz (20th century)

    “To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
