Why on arth do you think that you would have been happy with this girl? What do you know about her except that she is a beauty? I grant you she's that, but are you aware of the infinitesimal part looks play in married life? My dear chap, better is it for a man that he marry a sympathetic gargoyle than a Venus with a steak of hardness in her. You know - and you would admit it if you were honest with yourself - that this girl is hard. She's got a chilled-steel soul.
(from Uneasy Money, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
