The ultimate knows no intimate.
The ultimate — it always includes some befuddlement.
The ideal makes us kneel; the real stands us back upright.
Find the heel; peel the ideal.
Utmost — it’s almost.
Paramount usually isn’t.
Supreme — our dream; extreme, our reality.
Superlative is desired, hired, required and admired — then fired.
Highest, lowest; slowest focus.
Cardinal; farcical.
