    From infancy, a growing girl creates a tapestry of ever-deepening and ever- enlarging relationships, with her self at the center. . . . The feminine personality comes to define itself within relationship and connection, where growth includes greater and greater complexities of interaction.

    Sweet Cupid’s shafts, like destiny,
    Doth causeless good or ill decree.
    Desert is born out of his bow,
    Reward upon his wing doth go.
    What fools are they that have not known
    That Love likes no laws but his own!
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    Sang a bone upon the shore;
    “A child found all a child can lack,
    Whether of pleasure or of rest,
    Upon the abundance of my breast”:
    A bone wave-whitened and dried in the wind.

    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small. His race can no more be exterminated than the flea can be. The last man lives the longest.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
