You are cowardly, you know, and very egotistic.

You are afraid of what other fools will say.

No matter how honest your motives, if others criticized your actions your feelings would be hurt.
And you think more about your own wretched feelings than you do about mine.

And then, being a coward--all men are at heart cowards--you disguise your cowardice by calling it chivalry.

I thank heaven that I was not born a man.
