"When you look at how men and women are living together, there are two processes at work. One, women are rising in the middle class; their earning potential is rising compared to men.

Everything that is hard and heavy in your world is made up of billions of molecules in constant motion offering the illusion of permanence. But it all tends toward breaking down and falling away. Some things just go more quickly, more surprisingly, than others.”
