from Ian McEwan, Atonement (2001)
Even being lied to constantly, though hardly like love, was sustained attention; he must care about her to fabricate so elaborately and over such a long stretch of time. His deceit was a form of tribute to the importance of their marriage.

Dear the News:
Nice post. As our friend Augustus McCrae says, "A man who wouldn't cheat for a poke don't want one bad enough."
A sound philosophy, although in my own experience, I've adapted it to "A man how wouldn't humiliate himself for a poke don't want one bad enough."
