Shaw, George Bernard. "The Philanderer." Plays Unpleasant. Penguin Classics, 2001, act 2. Originally published by Grant Richards, 1898.

It's no good trying to fool yourself about love. You can't fall into it like a soft job, without dirtying up your hands. It takes muscle and guts. And if you can't bear the thought of messing up your nice, clean soul, you'd better give up the whole idea of life and become a saint.
