Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “I would rather go to any extreme than suffer anything that is unworthy of my reputation, or of that of my crown.”
    —Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    “The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
    —Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
