Famous quotes containing the words pressure and/or pad:
“Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts.”

“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
