I find titles the hardest thing. I was worried that 'Waste Land' was too much of a downer. For me, 'The Crash Reel' confronts what the film is about: it's not just about the reality of a crash, it's about the extremity we all face, and what happens when life crashes on you.

Lucy Walker

If Death Grips isn't the fourth horseman of a hip-hop apocalypse, its music at least tests the genre's threshold of extremity: The trio's abrasive, jittery style teeters on the edge of palatability, and plays toward a morbid curiosity to which many listeners won't succumb.

Anthony Fantano

If any person examines by the microscope that part towards the extremity of the spider's body from whence its thread proceeds, he will observe the spot to be, as it were, surrounded by five several protuberances or risings, each ending in a point and altogether forming a kind of enclosure.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

I like the way that psychological extremity can illuminate more 'normal' characters by forcing a comparison.

Antonya Nelson

The difference between a cult and a religion, of course, lies in extremity.

Benjamin Wittes

Happy are those few nations that have not waited till the slow succession of human vicissitudes should, from the extremity of evil, produce a transition to good; but by prudent laws have facilitated the progress from one to the other!

Cesare Beccaria

Deadwood lies at the northern tip of the Black Hills, where the land is ancient and rubbed smooth by time. The Black Hills are more rugged at their southern extremity, where bare granite forms pinnacles and spires.

Clive Sinclair

I'm interested in the dark side of man. I'm interested in taboos, and murder is the greatest taboo. Characters are fascinating in their extremity, not in their happiness.

Elizabeth George

In the extremity of war, character is revealed.

George Packer

Very often the law of extremity demands an attention to irrelevance.

Janet Frame

I will only observe, that that ethereal sense - sight, and touch, which is at the other extremity of the scale, have from time acquired a very remarkable additional power.

Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

Man's extremity is God's opportunity.

John Flavel

Unfortunately, I've seen violence, and I think, in films, it is the dramatic extremity of it.

John Hillcoat

I find titles the hardest thing. I was worried that 'Waste Land' was too much of a downer. For me, 'The Crash Reel' confronts what the film is about: it's not just about the reality of a crash, it's about the extremity we all face, and what happens when life crashes on you.

Lucy Walker

I love how the reality of fashion is all about something for that moment and then the extremity of dismissal.

Marc Jacobs

For me, disability is a way of getting some extremity, some kind of very difficult situation, that throws an interesting light on people.

Mark Haddon

Sometimes I think my purpose is as a saboteur when I'm working with other people, derailing what they're trying to do or taking things to a ludicrous extremity.

Mark Leyner

So great was the extremity of his pain and anguish, that he did not only sigh but roar.

Matthew Henry

Teenagers are very dark, I think. That's all the goth and emo stuff. They're experiencing a lot of stuff that adults experience, but in a much more raw way. It's that extremity that I'm interested in, to be able to go down so far and come up so quickly.

Meg Rosoff

We procured from an Indian a weasel perfectly white except the extremity of the tail which was black: great numbers of wild geese are passing to the south, but their flight is too high for us to procure any of them.

Meriwether Lewis

Perfect reason flees all extremity, and leads one to be wise with sobriety.

Moliere
