"It is one of my chief principles never to be in any other relationship than that of friendship with the wife of another man.
For I should not wish by forming any other kind of relationship to fill my heart with distrust of that woman who some day will perhaps share my fate - and thus my own action to destroy the lovliest and purist relationship"
