Extreme Quotations
Extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.
Plato
Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all; too much cleverness and too much learning, accompanied with ill bringing-up, are far more fatal.
Plato
I worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.
Groucho Marx
In extreme situations, the entire universe becomes our foe; at such critical times, unity of mind and technique is essential - do not let your heart waver!
Morihei Ueshiba
Assassination is the extreme form of censorship.

What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists, is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents.
Robert Kennedy
I would rather go to any extreme than suffer anything that is unworthy of my reputation, or of that of my crown.
Elizabeth I

Extreme hopes are born from extreme misery.
