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)

    “If I were in the unenviable position of having to study my work my points of departure would be the “Naught is more real ...” and the “Ubi nihil vales ...” both already in Murphy and neither very rational.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
