Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “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)

    “Every man has to learn the points of the compass again as often as he awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
