That line is from Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises (1926). It’s spoken by the narrator, Jake Barnes, in a sardonic aside about masculinity and jealousy — a comment on letting an outsider (“Mr. Nobody from Nowhere,” i.e., Robert Cohn) pursue the woman Jake cares for (Lady Brett Ashley). If you’d like, I can give the surrounding passage, explain the scene or themes in more detail, or point to the exact place in the book.
