Pressure Waves

Famous quotes containing the words pressure and/or waves:

    By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.”
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    He says the waves in the ship’s wake
    are like stones rolling away.
    I don’t see it that way.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
