    In America every woman has her set of girl-friends some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other's affairs, who 'come out' together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.

    There are those who believe our fate is set in stone. They believe our personalities, our future, our entire life experience is something beyond our control. Basically, they believe we are helpless victims and that life happens to us. True understanding is understanding the illusion. We are not victims. No matter the date and time of our birth, no matter anything, no matter anyone, we live our own life. Whether we realize it or not, we create our own experience. We are much more than our circumstances. We are much more than our thoughts and emotions. Life does not happen to us. Life flows through us.

    – H.W. Mann

    – Paul Valery
