"Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife."
-
Would you die for love, Konstantin Dmitrievich?
-
I would. But not for my neighbor's wife.
-
An impure love is not love to me.
-
To admire another man's wife is a pleasant thing,
-
but sensual desire indulged for its own sake is greed,
-
a kind of gluttony,
-
and a misuse of something sacred,
-
which is given to us
-
so that we may choose the one person
-
with whom to fulfill our humanness.
-
Otherwise, we might as well be cattle.
