If you ask where a relationship is going too often the question has a habit of turning into where the relationship went. Unfortunately, however, God has given women an inbuilt irresistible urge to insist on knowing where their relationships are going, and to force their partners to discuss the matter at length whenever they are late for something.

But Aomame could never smile easily, or casually, in front of people. When she forced it, she ended up with a tight sneer, which made others even more tense and uncomfortable. Tamaki was different: she had a natural, cheerful smile. People meeting her for the first time immediately felt friendly toward her. In the end, though, disappointment and despair drove Tamaki to take her own life, leaving Aomame – who couldn’t manage a decent smile – behind. Haruki Murakami

These relations therefore are themselves natural laws independent of the influence of time. They are eternal laws which must always govern society. Thus, there has been history, but there is no longer any. Karl Marx
Don DeLillo quote: "If you don't have the grace and wit to die early, you are..."
If you don't have the grace and wit to die early, you are forced to vanish, to hide as if in shame and apology. Don DeLillo

He was entirely rid of his nervous misgivings, of his forced aggressiveness, of the imperative desire to show himself different from his surroundings. He felt now that his surroundings explained him. Willa Cather
While the demonic quality gradually disappeared from his experience, he still felt tremendously erotic and was engaged in endless sequences of the most fantastic orgies and sexual fantasies, in which he played all roles. All through these experiences, he continued being simultaneously the child struggling through the birth canal and the mother delivering it. It became very clear to him that sex and birth were deeply connected and also that satanic forces had important links with the... Stanislav Grof
Rome remained great as long as she had enemies who forced her to unity, vision, and heroism. When she had overcome them all she flourished for a moment and then began to die. Will Durant
Leo Tolstoy quote: "Energy rests upon love; and come as it will, there's no..."
Energy rests upon love; and come as it will, there's no forcing it. Leo Tolstoy
Frank Herbert quote: "Fear is the penalty of consciousness forced to stare at itself."
Fear is the penalty of consciousness forced to stare at itself. Frank Herbert
If we hope to stem the mass destruction that inevitably attends our economic system (and to alter the sense of entitlement - the sense of contempt, the hatred - on which it is based), fundamental historical, social, economic, and technological forces need to be pondered, understood, and redirected. Behavior won't change much without a fundamental change in consciousness. The question becomes: How do we change consciousness? Derrick Jensen
He felt that all his hitherto dissipated and dispersed forces were gathered and directed with terrible energy towards one blissful goal. Leo Tolstoy
