As a matter of fact it wouldn’t be safe to tell any man the truth about his wife! Funnily enough, I’d trust most women with the truth about their husbands. Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.

إن الغيرة ليست مسألة أسباب في العادة، بل إنها بالأحرى.. كيف أعبر عن ذلك؟ إنها أكثر جوهرية من ذلك؛ إنها تعتمد على معرفة المرء بأن حبه غير متبادل. و هكذا يستمر المرء في الانتظار و الترقب و التوقع منتظرا أن يتحول المحبوب إلى شخص آخر!

He was very much a man of moods, possibly owing to what is styled the artistic temperment. I have never seen, myself, why the possession of artistic ability should be supposed to excuse a man from a decent exercise of self-control.
