Summary

This quote seems to express a negative and biased view towards actors and actresses. It suggests that great actors are generally incapable of being good husbands, while great actresses are likened to the devil. It implies a stereotype that successful performers prioritize their careers over their personal relationships, particularly when it comes to marriage. However, it is important to remember that this statement is subjective and reflects a specific perspective, rather than being a universally accurate portrayal of all actors and actresses.

We think we know that chimpanzees are higher animals and earthworms are lower, we think we've always known what that means, and we think evolution makes it even clearer. But it doesn't.
