It brought us to tears

Oliver: What's in the box?
Vincent: My wife.
Oliver: She died?
Vincent: No. She shrunk herself. She's living in here now. Rent free.
Oliver: Sorry for your loss.
Vincent: I never understood why people say that.
Oliver: They don't know what else to say?
Vincent: How about 'What was she like?', 'Do you miss her?', Or 'What are you gonna do now?' Do yourself a favor: get a life. Stop living mine.
Quote from the movie St. Vincent, directed by Theodore Melfi.

About encounters with specific people
2015-01-11
"The only access we have to our volcanic unconscious and to the profound motives for our actions and reactions is through shocks of our encounters with specific people." Louise Bourgeois' note in her diary in 1980.

Housewife
2015-01-10
"... for the first time in my life, I began to understand what it must be like to be a woman. To have to accept that the world's view is male and all the assumptions that come with it, such as: everything you do and say is seen and judged through the prism of your sexuality, that the expectation is you will fulfill the multiple roles of mother, housekeeper, companion, worker and lover with deference and gratitude, and that men – lazy, selfish, conceited men – are not forced to wear the same, or any other straightjacket. Bourgeois's genius is that she is able to put all this across with some small paintings that are so simple they are almost naive." - Will Gompertz, 8 October 2008, for www.theguardian.com
Femme maison, 1983 by Louise Bourgeois.

Although Gompertz is referring to the painting series called Femme Maison that were made by Bourgeois from 1945–47, I feel his words are relevant here.
