Famous quotes containing the words status and/or paradox:

    [In early adolescence] she becomes acutely aware of herself as a being perceived by others, judged by others, though she herself is the harshest judge, quick to list her physical flaws, quick to undervalue and under-rate herself not only in terms of physical appearance but across a wide range of talents, capacities and even social status, whereas boys of the same age will cite their abilities, their talents and their social status pretty accurately.
    Terri Apter (20th century)

    ...This
    is the paradox of vision:
    Sharp perception softens
    our existence in the world.
    Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
