“Almost invariably there comes the question—Why did you do such a thing? Or—How could you treat me like that? If it's the man speaking he says: Let's not talk about it ... let's forget it! But the woman reacts as if she had been shocked in her vital centers, as if perhaps she might never recover from the mortal stab... she talks egotistically, but it is not the ego which prompts her reproaches—it's WOMAN.” — Henry Miller
