"Religious, economic societies, families, groups of friends, acquaintances, and even ephemeral meetings in a room, in a concert hall, in the street ... all immobilize time in their own way, or deposit in their members the illusion that for at least some time, in a world that changes without ceasing, some areas have acquired a relative stability and balance, and in them nothing basic has been transformed during a period of time. "
Maurice Halbwachs.
