... L'homme exag�re sa force et son courage, comme la femme exag�re sa faiblesse et sa timidit�. Il n'y a que l'ennui que les femmes redoutent; l'ennui seul les fatigue, l'ennui seul les tue. Une femme ne meurt jamais que d'ennui; � soixante-quinze ans une femme ne meurt pas parce qu'elle est vieille, mais parce qu'on ne l'amuse plus. Une femme qui s'amuse est de fer et d'airain; il n'y a pas de portefaix capable de suivre tout un hiver dans le monde la plus fr�le, de nos femmes, si elle est jolie, si elle a beaucoup de toilettes fra�ches, si elle a du succ�s; � la moiti� de la saison, le portefaix, ext�nu�, demandera � aller porter des sacs de farine pour se reposer, et r�tablir sa sant�. Nous ne sommes le sexe fort que parce que nous ne sommes pas le beau sexe; sans la faiblesse qu'affichent les femmes adroites, notre force para�trait piteuse, et nous ne serions plus rien du tout...
