"Without something to belong to, we have no stable self, and yet total commitment and attachment to any social unity implies a kind of selflessness. Our sense of being a person can come from being drawn into a wider social unit; our sense of selfhood can arise through the little ways in which we resist the pull.  Our status is backed by the solid building of the world, while our sense of personal identity often resides in the cracks." 
​-- Goffman 1961, Asylums, p.250
