Famous quotes containing the words pressure and/or groups:

    “Much of the pressure contemporary parents feel with respect to dressing children in designer clothes, teaching young children academics, and giving them instruction in sports derives directly from our need to use our children to impress others with our economic surplus. We find “good” rather than real reasons for letting our children go along with the crowd.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)

    “Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
