Famous quotes containing the word issue:
“Parents are led to believe that they must be consistent, that is, always respond to the same issue the same way. Consistency is good up to a point but your child also needs to understand context and subtlety . . . much of adult life is governed by context: what is appropriate in one setting is not appropriate in another; the way something is said may be more important than what is said. . . .”
—Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
“Most people see no reason to stop arguing just because an issue has been decided.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“An artist is a man of action, whether he creates a personality, invents an expedient, or finds the issue of a complicated situation.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
