    The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    In the old days, one married a wife; now one forms a company with a female partner, or moves in to live with a friend. And then one seduces the partner, or defiles the friend.
