Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “Surrender is a perfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances.”
    —Leigh Brackett (1915–1978)

    “Wonderful “Force of Public Opinion!” We must act and walk in all points as it prescribes; follow the traffic it bids us, realise the sum of money, the degree of “influence” it expects of us, or we shall be lightly esteemed; certain mouthfuls of articulate wind will be blown at us, and this what mortal courage can front?”
    —Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
