Selection Pressure

Famous quotes containing the words selection and/or pressure:

“It is the highest and most legitimate pride of an Englishman to have the letters M.P. written after his name. No selection from the alphabet, no doctorship, no fellowship, be it of ever so learned or royal a society, no knightship,—not though it be of the Garter,—confers so fair an honour.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

“Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts.”
