Now listen carefully: Marriage, to me, is not a chain but an association. I must be free, entirely unfettered, in all my actions--my coming and my going; I can tolerate neither control, jealousy, nor criticism as to my conduct. I pledge my word, however, never to compromise the name of the man I marry, nor to render him ridiculous in the eyes of the world. But that man must promise to look upon me as an equal, an ally, and not as an inferior, or as an obedient, submissive wife. My ideas, I know, are not like those of other people, but I shall never change them.

Guy de Maupassant

A proč vůbec se chovat urážlivě k někomu, na kom jsme úplně závislí? To by nebylo vůbec hrdinství, nýbrž jen nerozvážná smělost.

Guy de Maupassant
