Have you ever met a man of good character where women are concerned?
Well, I haven't. I find that whenever a woman becomes friends with me,
she becomes jealous, exacting, suspicious, and a damn nuisance; and
whenever I become friends with a woman, I become selfish and tyrannical.
So here I am, Pickering, a confirmed old bachelor and very likely to
remain so.
-- Henry Higgins, "My Fair Lady"
