“The world is not dialectical -- it is sworn to extremes, not to equilibrium, sworn to radical antagonism, not to reconciliation or synthesis. This is also the principle of evil.”
Jean Baudrillard
“Extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Extreme hopes are born from extreme misery.”
Bertrand Russell
“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 Francis Kennedy
“I would like to recapture that freshness of vision which is characteristic of extreme youth when all the world is new to it.”
Henri Matisse
“Some people must go to extremes to get the world in balance for themselves. Some can't bear bright lights, so wherever they go they search for the dark; they turn the lights down, anything to sustain some level of comfort.”
Julian Schnabel
“In this world of extremes, we can only love too little.”
