Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or matter:
“Hard-hearted girl,
get rid of these doubts
based on false rumor.
It’s not good
to subject me to sorrow
because of backbiters’ words,
or have you decided now,
silly girl,
that it’s all true?
Do to me what you will,
sweetheart.
Suit yourself.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“No matter what time it is, wake me, even if it’s in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
