The reason

So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty. (Daniel Long)

"The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but the ignominy, the humiliation we feel that we must be what we are without any choice in the matter, and that this humiliation is seen by everyone." (Kundera)

"De todas as presunções ridículas da humanidade, nada ultrapassa as críticas feitas aos hábitos dos pobres por aqueles que têm casa, estão aquecidos e alimentados." (Melville)
