“Les femmes nous aiment pour nos défauts. Si nous en avons une somme convenable, elles nous pardonnent tout, même d'être intelligents. (...) - Naturellement, c'est la vérité. Si nous ne vous aimions pas pour vos défauts, que deviendriez-vous tous ? Pas un de vous ne se marierait. Vous ne seriez plus qu'un tas d'infortunés célibataires. Ce qui, d'ailleurs, ne vous changerait pas beaucoup. Car aujourd'hui tous les hommes mariés vivent en célibataires, et tous les célibataires en hommes mariés.”
