For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers.

—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.”
—Andre Maurois (1885–1967)
