Selection Pressure

Famous quotes containing the words selection and/or pressure:

“Judge Ginsburg’s selection should be a model—chosen on merit and not ideology, despite some naysaying, with little advance publicity. Her treatment could begin to overturn a terrible precedent: that is, that the most terrifying sentence among the accomplished in America has become, “Honey—the White House is on the phone.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

“We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts.”
