Famous quotes containing the words extreme, physical and/or information:

    “The American doctrinaire is the converse of the American demagogue, and, in this way, is scarcely less injurious to the public. The first deals in poetry, the last in cant. He is as much a visionary on one side, as the extreme theoretical democrat is a visionary on the other.”
    —James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)

    “Oh, don’t be so fussy. Your body, after all, what is it? Just a physical covering, that’s all. Worth, chemically, 32 cents.”
    —Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)

    “Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
