“ By every use of her power to hurt, the woman constricts us more and more, shackling us with stronger chains; but she also shows us the weakness of those which once seemed strong enough to bind her and thus to enable us to feel untroubled by her. ”
Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower (1919). copy citation
