Post-operatively the transplanted kidney functioned immediately with a dramatic improvement in the patient's renal and cardiopulmonary status. This spectacular success was a clear demonstration that organ transplantation could be life-saving.

Post-traumatic stress disorder didn't surface as a condition until 1980... that fact was very relevant when I remember back to how these men behaved. A lot of walking on eggshells was required for wives and children.
‐‐ Matthew Nable
Post traumatic stress disorder starts out with nightmares, flashbacks and actually reliving the event. And this happens over and over and over and over in your mind. If you let it go on, it can become chronic and become hard if not impossible to treat.

Posterity makes the judgments. There are going to be a lot of surprises in store for everybody.

Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.

Posthumous charities are the very essence of selfishness when bequeathed by those who, even alive, would part with nothing.

Posthumous reputations have little to do with real lives.

Posting a brag, humble or otherwise, and then waiting for people to respond is the equivalent of having a conversation in which all you do is wait for your turn to speak.

Postman is a media analyst and his theory is that television doesn't influence our culture, but that it is our culture and the presidency and anything that relies on television.
‐‐ Val Kilmer
Postmodern comedy doesn't work well with very old audiences, because it's making fun of the comedy they enjoy.
‐‐ Bo Burnham
Postmodernism came nowhere close in quality to Modernism at its apogee, not least because that later style wholly lacked the social impetus that animated the designs most emblematic of the Modern Movement.
‐‐ Martin Filler
Postmodernism cost literature its audience.
‐‐ Scott Turow
Postmodernism is among other things a sick joke at the expense of revolutionary avant-gardism.
‐‐ Terry Eagleton
Postmodernism is an academic theory, originating in academia with an academic elite, not in the world of women and men, where feminist theory is rooted.
‐‐ Catharine MacKinnon
Postmodernism surely requires an even greater grasp of symbolism, as it's increasingly an art of gesture alone.
‐‐ Andrew Eldritch
Postmodernism was a reaction to modernism. Where modernism was about objectivity, postmodernism was about subjectivity. Where modernism sought a singular truth, postmodernism sought the multiplicity of truths.
‐‐ Miguel Syjuco
Postmodernists believe that truth is myth, and myth, truth. This equation has its roots in pop psychology. The same people also believe that emotions are a form of reality. There used to be another name for this state of mind. It used to be called psychosis.

Postpartum depression is a very real and very serious problem for many mothers. It can happen to a first time mom or a veteran mother. It can occur a few days... or a few months after childbirth.
‐‐ Richard J. Codey
Posttraumatic stress is something that's always existed. I think that the earliest recording was during the Trojan War, but it's only recently that we're beginning to be aware of it.

Posturing is funny to me.

Postwar America was a very buttoned-up nation. Radio shows were run by censors, Presidents wore hats, ladies wore girdles. We came straight out of the blue - nobody was expecting anything like Martin and Lewis. A sexy guy and a monkey is how some people saw us.
‐‐ Jerry Lewis
Postwar Europe was morally stagnant, and there was a lot of neo-conservatism.
‐‐ Romola Garai
Postwar U.S. was the world's leader in science and technology. The investment in science research was staggering.

Pot barley takes longer to cook than pearl, but an overnight soak in water will speed things along. It's a robust grain that, if overcooked, won't collapse but will become more tender.

Pot lucks are fun, especially when you encourage your guests to bring dishes that represent their families or cultures.

'Potato-chip news' is news that's repetitive, requires little effort to absorb, and is consumable in massive quantities: true crime, natural disasters, political punditry, celebrity gossip, sports gossip, or endless photographs of beautiful houses, food, or clothes.
‐‐ Gretchen Rubin
Potatoes are popped, with no oil, using the same technology used in the rice cake manufacturing business. It took a lot of trial and error and lots of practice, though, to get the right flavor.

Potential home buyers have a two-step decision process. First, they determine whether they can afford to make a purchase - does their income safely cover their mortgage payment? Then they determine whether owning is a better financial choice than renting - are the costs of owning a home lower than the cost of renting it?
‐‐ Mark Zandi
Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.
‐‐ Ayn Rand
Potentially he could be. He scored the goal four years ago in France against Argentina that was extraordinary.
‐‐ Alan Hansen
Potentially significant, by the way, because we don't know exactly what's in Matt Cooper's notes, and we don't know - and we don't still know the answer to the crucial question of whether it was Rove or somebody else that revealed Valerie Plame's name to him.
‐‐ Michael Isikoff
Potentially, you do inhabit different worlds. And while there are no specific roles I'm burning to play, as far as acting in the future goes, I'd really like to have done searing work.

Potomac School proved to be my first big adjustment - one that helped me with a basic lesson of growing up: learning to get along in whatever world one is deposited.

Potter is jealous of potter, and craftsman of craftsman; and the poor have a grudge against the poor, and the poet against the poet.

Poul Anderson's 'The High Crusade' may have had a greater impact on my development as a writer than any other book I ever read.

Pound Ridge is about five miles from our country house. When you go every weekend for the last ten years without fail, well, that starts to feel like a home.
‐‐ Jean-Georges Vongerichten
Pound's crazy. All poets are. They have to be. You don't put a poet like Pound in the loony bin.
‐‐ Ernest Hemingway
Pound's translation of Chinese poetry was maybe the most important thing I read. Eliot a little bit later.

Pour a liquid out of its container, and it changes shape, fills the space you give it. If you give children a lot of space, it may surprise you where they'll go and the shape they'll take.

Pour not on the comforts you want, but upon the mercies you have. Look rather at God's ending in afflicting, than to the measure and degree of your affliction.

Pouring concrete on land you don't own is called a calculated risk, if you don't pour you loose millions.

Pouring espresso is an art, one that requires the barista to care about the quality of the beverage.

Poverty affects people of all races.
‐‐ Bill Bennett
Poverty and backwardness in the midst of clear waters and verdant mountains is no good, nor is it to have prosperity and wealth while the environment deteriorates.
‐‐ Li Keqiang
Poverty and lack of knowledge must be challenged.
‐‐ Russell Simmons
Poverty and the rule of race that is called apartheid drive the Transkeian migrant from security on the land to work in the cities, and then back again.
