Manipulated Living

Famous quotes containing the words manipulated and/or living:

“Many women are surprised by the intensity of their maternal pull and the conflict it brings to their competing roles. This is the precise point at which many women feel the stress of the work/family dilemma most keenly. They realize that they may have a price to pay for wanting to be both professionals and mothers. They feel guilty for not being at work, and angry for being manipulated into feeling this guilt. . . . They don’t quite fit at home. They don’t quite fit at work.”
—Deborah J. Swiss (20th century)

“The great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman.... The man embraces in the woman all that is not himself, and from that one resultant, from that embrace, comes every new action.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
