  I find that the moment I let a woman make friends with me, she becomes jealous, exacting, suspicious, and a damned nuisance. I find that the moment I let myself make friends with a woman, I become selfish and tyrannical.

(George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), Anglo-Irish playwright, critic. (1891). The Quintessence of Ibsenism, "The Two Pioneers," The Drama Observed, ed. Bernard F. Dukore, Penn State Press (1993).)
