Following the end of the Cold War, there was much discussion concerning the point of NATO.

Its former East European client states were admitted to NATO, as were the Baltic states. Martin Jacques
There are no pat answers – we’re pushing through some new frontiers, and lessons of the past don’t always apply. Jim Barksdale

The acknowledged legislators of the world take the world as given. They dislike mysteries, for mysteries cannot be coded, or legislated, and wonder cannot be made into law. And so these legislators police the accepted frontiers of things. Ben Okri

What you end up seeing when you look at history is that people who have been good at pushing the boundaries of possibility, and exploring those frontiers of good ideas and innovations, have rarely done it in moments of great inspiration.

The frontiers of a book are never clear-cut: beyond the title, the first lines, and the last full stop, beyond its internal configuration and its autonomous form, it is caught up in a system of references to other books, other texts, other sentences: it is a node within a network. Michel Foucault
England in a way is lucky. It’s an island, so the frontiers are given by the sea. Salman Rushdie

I am astonished each time I come to the U.S. by the ignorance of a high percentage of the population, which knows almost nothing about Latin America or about the world. It’s quite blind and deaf to anything that may happen outside the frontiers of the U.S. Eduardo Galeano
Russia knows of the vulnerability of her frontiers in this part of the world. Aly Khan

Doubt begins only at the last frontiers of what is possible. Ambrose Bierce
Studying whether there’s life on Mars or studying how the universe began, there’s something magical about pushing back the frontiers of knowledge. That’s something that is almost part of being human, and I’m certain that will continue. Sally Ride

Dominic Cummings
Modern science is fast-moving, and no laboratory can exist for long with a program based on old facilities. Innovation and renewal are required to keep a laboratory on the frontiers of science. Burton Richter
The bedrock nature of space and time and the unification of cosmos and quantum are surely among science’s great ‘open frontiers.’ These are parts of the intellectual map where we’re still groping for the truth – where, in the fashion of ancient cartographers, we must still inscribe ‘here be dragons.’ Martin Rees
I don’t believe in frontiers, and I don’t believe in races or nationalities. Julio Iglesias
New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure. Herbert Hoover
