Issue

Famous quotes containing the word issue:

    I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart.
    But the saying is true: “The empty vessel makes the greatest
    sound.”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The issue is privacy. Why is the decision by a woman to sleep with a man she has just met in a bar a private one, and the decision to sleep with the same man for $100 subject to criminal penalties?
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!
    Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
