girls do not appeal to me. their beauty passes away like a dream and like yesterday when it is past. their faithfulness -yes, their faithfulness! either they are faithless -this does not concern me any more- or they are faithful. if i found such a one, she would appeal to me from the standpoint of her being a rarity; but from the standpoint of a long period of time she would not appeal to me, for either she would continually remain faithful, and then i would become a sacrifice to my eagerness for experience, since i would have to bear with her, or the time would come when she would lapse, and then i would have the same old story.
