Without the letters of condolence, telegrams of congratulations, and occasional postcards, the friendship of a separated friend is not a social reality. It has no existence without the rites of friendship. Social rituals create a reality which would be nothing without them.

But it is impossible to have social relations without symbolic acts.

With maternal love, life makes a promise at dawn that it can never hold. You are forced to eat cold food until your days end.

Never again, never again, never again.
