Every philosophy also conceals a philosophy; every opinion is also a hideout, every word also a mask.
Friedrich Nietzsche
She was coming to look on men and women as fellow-survivors: well-dissemblers of their woes, who, with few signals of grief, had contained, assimilated, or put to use their own destruction. Of those who had endured the worst, not all behaved nobly or consistently. but all, involuntarily, became part of some deeper assertion of life.
