Book: Lady Frederick

- Mom wants to say something against you, and I decided to let it
do it in your presence.
- It is very kind of you, Charlie. Although I
rather people talked smack about me behind my back. Especially if this shit is true.

Gerald: When in love with a woman, she is able to put my heart under a microscope and to study its beating. And when in love with a man, didn't have him to science, philosophy and everything else?
Rose: When in love with a man, he is only able to write sonnets in the moonlight. When in love with a woman, she still is able to cook his dinner and darn the stockings themselves.

When a man is in love, he immediately climbs on the pedestal of the Ten commandments and stands on it, arms akimbo. And when in love with a woman, to all these "possible" and "impossible" there is no case.
