From Overruled by Bernard Shaw

male · philosophical · 49 sec

And Mrs. Juno's a very nice woman. She oughtn't to be; but she is. (JUNO: Why oughtn't she to be a nice woman, pray?) I mean she oughtn't to be nice to me. And you oughtn't to be nice to my wife. And your wife oughtn't to like me. And my wife oughtn't to like you. And if they do, they oughtn't to go on liking us. And I oughtn't to like your wife; and you oughtn't to like mine; and if we do we oughtn't to go on liking them. But we do, all of us. We oughtn't; but we do.
