I want to include a quote in a paper I'm writing, but I can't find the author anywhere and it's driving me nuts. The paper's due today so any help would be greatly appreciated. The quote goes more or less like this:
"One does not achieve greatness by touching one extreme or the other, but by touching both at once"
Edit: Never mind. Found it.
Adolf Hitler, April 1945.
Alfred P. Southwick, 1887
"We show greatness not by being at one extreme, but by touching both at once and occupying all the space in between." --Blaise Pascal

Thanks for supplying the real quote. You should have seen how bad it was butchered (not just by me) at a few places I saw it. I'm not even sure where I heard it, it just popped in my head while I was writing.
You're welcome.
Rev. Uncle BadTouch! No, wait, I thought it said "touching pre-teen" nevermind.
