"It seems almost oxymoronic to believe that this new idealism has led to a new pessimism about marriage, but that is exactly what has happened.

You imagine you are dancing, but in fact it is someone else who is making you dance.Look closely at your life and you will find that you are nothing more than a puppet. How can anything real happen in the life of a man who is not his own master, but merely a puppet?"
