"Get a nice little, safe little, sweet little loving little imitation man who’ll give you babies and bread and a secure roof and a green lawn and money money money every month. Compromise. A smart girl can’t have everything she wants. Take second best. Take anything nice you think you can manage and sweetly master. Don’t let him get mad or die or go to Paris with his sexy secretary. Be sure he’s nice nice nice."
