Famous quotes containing the words partial and/or pressures:
“America is hard to see.
Less partial witnesses than he
In book on book have testified
They could not see it from outside....”

“Todays pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase early ripe, early rot!”
—David Elkind (20th century)
