Some day you will lie upon your sofasuffering unheard-of ills, unable to endure the light or the slightestsound, condemned to live as it were in the tomb. Then, when you seekthe causes of those lingering and avenging torments, you will rememberthe woes that you distributed so lavishly upon... your way. You have sowncurses, and hatred will be your reward. We are the real judges, theexecutioners of a justice that reigns here below, which overrules thejustice of man and the laws of God.

I am happy by myself; why should I give up my way ofliving, a selfish way, if you will, for the caprices of a master?Marriage is a sacrament by virtue of which each imparts nothing butvexations to the other.
