[I]t is not by being richer or more powerful that a man becomes better; one is a matter of fortune, the other of virtue. Nor should she deem herself other than venal who weds a rich man rather than a poor, and desires more things in her husband than himself. Assuredly, whomsoever this concupiscence leads into marriage deserves payment rather than affection.

Héloïse d'Argenteuil , in The Letters of Abélard and Héloïse
love marriage honesty poverty women sin matrimony affection integrity married-life power dignity shame honor materialism virtue fortune greed prostitution vice payment riches possessions wives concupiscence venality wedlock
