Famous quotes containing the words ultimate and/or issue:

    And even you will come to this foul shame,
    This ultimate infection,
    Star of my eyes, my being’s inner flame,
    My angel and my passion!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    If the issue doesn’t matter a whole lot, just drop it. You don’t have to win every fight ... and you will not have lost any of your authority by giving in when it doesn’t matter very much.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)
