One can always be kind to people about whom one cares nothing.
Curious thing, plain women are always jealous of their husbands, beautiful women never are! Beautiful women never have time. They are always so occupied in being jealous of other people's husbands!
Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect: simply a confession of failures.
How exaggerated is the importance of faith! Even in love it is but physiological, indipendently from will. Young men want to be faithful, and are not: old men want to be faithless and cannot.
Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know loves tragedies.
I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty.
There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.
When a woman truly repents, she must go to a bad taylor, otherwise no one will believe her.
Women are a fascinatingly wilful sex. Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against herself.
Secrets from other people's wives are a necessary luxury in modern life. So, at least, I am always told at the club by people who are bald enough to know better. But no man should have a secret from his own wife. She invariably finds it out. Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious.
