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)

    “When our relatives are at home, we have to think of all their good points or it would be impossible to endure them. But when they are away, we console ourselves for their absence by dwelling on their vices.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
