“Great artists are products of their own time: they do not spring forth fully equipped from the head of Jove, but are formed by the circumstances acting upon them since birth. These circumstances include the ambiance created by the other, lesser artists of their own time, who have all done their part in creating the pressure that forces up an exceptional talent. Unjustly, but unavoidably, the very closeness of a great artist to his colleagues and contemporaries leads to their eclipse.” DoneArtistForceActingTalentProductsBirthCircumstancesCreatingSpringPressureColleaguesGreat ArtExceptionalGreat ArtistClosenessEclipseAmbiance Book:The Obstacle Race: The Fortunes of Women Painters and Their Work Source: The Obstacle Race: The Fortunes of Women Painters and Their Work

“Sometimes we ask ourselves 'Why?' Why do I continue to smile, to give, to live? Why do I continue to stand, despite the ferocity of the wind that keeps blowing, that keeps slapping against my face, creating a pressure that says 'fall'? Why I don't I listen to those who call me a fool because I continue to love despite my hurt? I don't know what tomorrow brings; I don't know if my troubles will seize or if my sorrows will continue. But this much I do know - I will continue to hold out, I will continue to press on, until my blessing comes.” IfsKnowsGivingSometimesMotivationalFacesFallAsksHurtTroubleWindFoolTomorrowSorrowBlessingCreatingPressurePressesDespiteCall MeMy BlessingFerocitySlappingTomorrow Brings Author:Shane Smith

It can even prevent you from getting a job! Other kids... especially girls... give in to peer pressure and take racy photos for boys because they think it will make the boy like them more.

“The other thing is that it's really hard to separate out the harassment from everything we do. When we started creating Tropes, we were hyper-aware of the intense scrutiny, the intense harassment, and the intense pressure to do something meaningful given the attention both positive and negative.

“There is no evolutionary pressure to create minds capable of forming sciences; it just happened. Evolutionary pressure has not led to higher rates of reproduction for people capable of solving scientific problems or creating new scientific ideas. So if, in fact, the science-forming capacities evolved for other reasons, it would not be too surprising if those particular structures that have developed proved to be rather special in their nature, reflecting the contingencies of their evolution or the working of physical law.” PeopleIfsMindIdeasReasonFactsProblemLawHappenedSpecialParticularEvolutionHigherCreatingCapableCapacityPressureStructureRateSurprisingReflectingReproductionContingency Author:Noam Chomsky
