American - First lady
October 11, 1884 - November 7, 1962

The truth of practical intellect is understood not as conformity to an extramental being but as conformity to a right desire; the end is no longer to know what is, but to bring into existence that which is not yet.

Jacques Maritain

To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision. Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity. It becomes easier to die and avoid conflict than to maintain a constant battle with the superior forces of maturity.

Maya Angelou

The constant pressure to be the perfect, ideal female - there's no such thing.

Kali Uchis

The basic premise of my system is to fatigue your opponents with constant pressure defensively and constant movement offensively.

Rick Pitino

Conformity is dangerous.

Adam Grant

One of the saddest things about conformity is the ghastly sort of non-conformity it breeds; the noisy protesting, the aggressive rebelliousness, the rigid counter-fetishism.

Louis Kronenberger

I am neither for conformity nor non-conformity. I am for individuality. If one's individuality is in effect non-conformity, then so be it. But basically, one's individuality consists of conformity--to one's self.

Paul Krassner

Substances like LSD, which give away a secret about the nature of the social game - the human game and what underlies it - are potentially dangerous, of course, like any good thing is. Electricity is dangerous, fire is dangerous, cars are dangerous, planes are dangerous, but not so dangerous as driving on the freeway. The only way to handle danger is to face it. If you start getting frightened of it, then you make it worse. Because you project onto it all kinds of bogeys and threats which don't exist in it at all.

Alan Watts

In America, through pressure of conformity, there is freedom of choice, but nothing to choose from.

Peter Ustinov

Style is the answer to everything. A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing. To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it. To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art.

Charles Bukowski

Force, violence, pressure, or compulsion with a view to conformity, are both uncivilized and undemocratic

Mahatma Gandhi

There is pressure, and I would never complain about that, but as players we put pressure on ourselves all the time. That's one thing I won't miss when I finally stop playing.

Jamie Carragher

Constant pressure by Turkish consulates across the United States, as well as pervasive and continual harassment by the government in Turkey, has so far failed to stifle my dissent. As they increase the pressure, I raise my voice.

Enes Kanter

Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity.

Maya Angelou

The more pressure you bring from without, the less internal pressure is necessary.

Oliver Tambo

While I'm optimistic about the direction the world is headed, generally, I think there is a need for constant vigilance and pressure on repressive governments.

Jimmy Wales
