“There are only two things more beautiful than a good gun—a Swiss watch or a woman from anywhere. You ever had a good Swiss watch?” (”Red River”)
“Loved without reason the laughter and flesh of a woman, enduring such torment to find her!” (Conrad Aiken)
Both may be true, but I don’t think I would ever knife someone because of a woman, except perhaps in her physical defense.
“Nothing you both ain’t already had.”
