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)

“A great man scarcely knows how he dines, how he dresses; but without railing or precision, his living is natural and poetic.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
