Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or result:
“Most literature on the culture of adolescence focuses on peer pressure as a negative force. Warnings about the “wrong crowd” read like tornado alerts in parent manuals. . . . It is a relative term that means different things in different places. In Fort Wayne, for example, the wrong crowd meant hanging out with liberal Democrats. In Connecticut, it meant kids who weren’t planning to get a Ph.D. from Yale.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“As we meet here at Camp David we ask people of all faiths to pray with us that peace and justice may result from these deliberations.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
