Famous quotes containing the words pressure and/or groups:

“Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts.”

“In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
