Famous quotes containing the word issue:

“Most people see no reason to stop arguing just because an issue has been decided.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Modern equalitarian societies ... whether democratic or authoritarian in their political forms, always base themselves on the claim that they are making life happier.... Happiness thus becomes the chief political issue—in a sense, the only political issue—and for that reason it can never be treated as an issue at all.”
—Robert Warshow (1917–1955)
