Famous quotes containing the word conditioned:
“Nothing in the universe is contingent, but all things are conditioned to exist and operate in a particular manner by the necessity of the divine nature.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
“People who have had power, when they become powerless, are really tragic.... We just allow ourselves to be conditioned by a society so we become as important as we’re supposed to be.”
—Maggie Kuhn (b. 1905)
“Women born at the turn of the century have been conditioned not to speak openly of their wedding nights. Of other nights in bed with other men they speak not at all. Today a woman having bedded with a great general feels free to tell us that in bed the general could not present arms. Women of my generation would have spared the great general the revelation of this failure.”
—Jessamyn West (1907–1984)
