Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “The melancholy of having to count souls
    Where they grow fewer and fewer every year
    Is extreme where they shrink to none at all.
    It must be I want life to go on living.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “In writing biography, fact and fiction shouldn’t be mixed. And if they are, the fictional points should be printed in red ink, the facts printed in black ink.”
    —Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
