Dorothy L. Sayers Quote

The rule seemed to be that a great woman must either die unwed... or find a still greater man to marry her.... The great man, on the other hand, could marry where he liked, not being restricted to great women; indeed, it was often found sweet and commendable in him to choose a woman of no sort of greatness at all.
