Combien ont procédé avec elle comme le singe de Cassan avec son violon ! Ils ont brisé le cœur qu’ils ne comprenaient pas, comme ils ont flétri et dédaigné le bijou dont le secret leur était inconnu. » [“How many men marry without knowing what a woman is! How many treat her like Cassan's monkey with his violin! They broke the heart that they did not understand, as they withered and disdained the jewel whose secret was unknown to them.”] H. de Balzac.
