Famous quotes containing the words exhaust and/or pressure:

“Only the really plain people know about love—the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they very soon exhaust their talents.”

“Today’s 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)
