Summary
This quote, attributed to English writer and philosopher Oscar Wilde, suggests that if men were to marry the women who truly reflected their qualities or actions, they would unlikely enjoy their marriages. It implies that men often deceive themselves into thinking they deserve partners of higher caliber, and their supposed match would challenge them to confront their own shortcomings. It speaks to the notion of self-awareness and self-reflection regarding one's own worthiness and the potential consequences of marrying someone who mirrors our true selves.
