The point of intersection of all these aggregated sovereignties is called Society. This intersection being a junction, this point is a knot. Hence comes what is called the social tie. Victor Hugo
... protested Mrs. Featherstone, a lady in her thirties, whose violently compressed figure suggested that she was engaged in a perpetual struggle to compute her weight in terms of the first syllables of her name rather than the last. Dorothy L. Sayers
From the ancient Inanna forcing herself to the underworld to visit her sister, Ereshkiga? passing through the seven gates of the underworld and then being hung on a hook, rottin? where she had to look at her sister, and her sister had to look at her. Both needed to see inside themselves, to see inside their own shadows. To come to terms with who they really were, not who they thought they were. Tori Amos
