“Husbands shouldn't be the last to know. Husbands should never know!”

“In order to know the worth of a virtuous husband, is it not necessary for the wife to be dispirited herself? First, give her a young man of twenty, and not only will she be fine, she'll have a reasonable husband.”

“I should like to know what is the proper function of women, if it is not to make reasons for husbands to stay at home, and still stronger reasons for bachelors to go out.”

“I know I began as a passion and have ended as a habit, like all husbands.”

“Plain women are always jealous of their husbands. Beautiful women never are. They are always so occupied with being jealous of other women's husbands.”

“Well, what I mean is that I shouldn't mind being a bride at a wedding, if I could be one without having a husband.”

“She divorced her husband, y' know. I never knew him, it was before I met Jane. Apparently she came back from work one mornin' an' found her husband in bed with the milkman.

Husbands and wives should have separate interests, cultivate different sets of friends — and not impose one upon the other.”
