“Everything, a spring morning, a summer's night, music, art, love - - Love? - There is such a thing. - How do you know? - I was in love once. - Physically attracted by someone? - It was more than that. Women are capable of something more. You don't like women? On the contrary, I love but don't admire them. Why? Women are of the earth, realistic, dominated by physical facts. What nonsense. Once a woman betrays a man, she despises him. In spite of his goodness, she will give him up for someone inferior, if that someone is more, shall we say, attractive.”
