Famous quotes containing the word extent:
“To the extent to which genius can be conjoined with a merely good human being, Haydn possessed genius. He never exceeds the limits that morality sets for the intellect; he only composes music which has “no past.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“It is almost never when a state of things is the most detestable that it is smashed, but when, beginning to improve, it permits men to breathe, to reflect, to communicate their thoughts with each other, and to gauge by what they already have the extent of their rights and their grievances. The weight, although less heavy, seems then all the more unbearable.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“There is hardly a man clever enough to recognize the full extent of the evil he does.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
