Matching Quote
"Every one knows about the young man who falls in love with the chorus-girl because she can kick his hat off, and his sister's friends can't or won't. But the youth who marries her, expecting that all her departures from convention will be as
agile
or as delightful to him as that, is still the classic example of folly."
-Katharine Fullerton Gerould
