Even if the whole earth and sea were turned to gold, they could hardly satisfy the avarice of a woman... You can more easily scratch a diamond with your fingernail than you can by any human ingenuity get a woman to consent to giving any of her savings.

-- Andreas Capellanus 卡佩拉努斯

即使整个大地和大海都变成金子，也无法满足一个女人的贪婪……用指甲刮钻石比用人类的聪明才智让一个女人同意捐出她的积蓄要容易得多。
