Famous quotes containing the words extremely and/or rare:
“Mr. [Christopher] Smart the poet was here yesterday.... This ingenious writer is one of the most unfortunate of men—he has been twice confined in a mad house.... How great a pity so clever, so ingenious a man should be reduced to such shocking circumstances. He is extremely grave, and has still great wildness in his manner, looks and voice—’tis impossible to see him and to think of his works, without feeling the utmost pity and concern for him.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“One can find women who have never had one love affair, but it is rare indeed to find any who have had only one.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
