The imperfections of a man, his frailties, his faults, are just as important as his virtues. You can't separate them. They're wedded.

The remark argues for an integrated view of character: what we call “virtues” do not exist in isolation from the weaknesses, compulsions, and blind spots that shape a person’s life. By calling faults and virtues “wedded,” the speaker suggests they are mutually entangled—often arising from the same temperament or drives—and that moral accounting which tries to extract a pure, idealized self is dishonest. In a Millerian vein, the statement also resists sanctimony and celebrates the messy, embodied reality of human beings, implying that genuine understanding (and perhaps love) requires accepting the whole person rather than curating an edifying portrait.
