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.

—Deborah J. Swiss (20th century)
“And that enquiring man John Synge comes next,

In a most desolate stony place....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
