About This Quote

He, who thought it necessary to maintain himself in her good graces, strove to console her under her disappointment by committing a little violence upon truth. This quote is one of them that say the most but do not say anything, for it is very obvious. The speaker is talking about a man who fought against all reason and logic to keep his wife happy and content. It was this man whose mind and body began to contort so that he did not see reality.

He did not see the truth and did not see the right way things were going. He ignored many things and said many things so as to keep his relationship with his wife intact because he did not want that relationship to end.
