- Who can ever distinguish with any degree of precision between true and false in women's acts? They are always sincere, but their emotions are forever changing. They are passionate, criminal, devoted, admirable and ignoble, in response to fleeting emotions. They tell lies all the time, without meaning to, without knowing, and without understanding; yet with all of this, and in spite of all of this, they have an absolute honesty of emotion and feeling which they display in decisions which are violent, unexpected, incomprehensible and irrational, decisions which defeat all reasoning, all our habits of caution, and all of our selfish plans. The fact is, they are sincere and deceitful at one and the same time, because it is in their nature to be both to an extreme degree and yet to be neither.
