Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    Individualism, pushed to anarchy, in the family is as ill- founded theoretically and as mischievous practically as it is in the State; while extreme regimentation is a certain means of either destroying self-reliance or of maddening to rebellion.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Sometimes apparent resemblances of character will bring two men together and for a certain time unite them. But their mistake gradually becomes evident, and they are astonished to find themselves not only far apart, but even repelled, in some sort, at all their points of contact.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
