The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life.

Men marry because they are tired; women because they are curious. Both are disappointed.

Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious: both are disappointed.

You silly Arthur! If you knew anything about...anything, which you don't, you would know that I adore you. Everyone in London knows it except you. It is a public scandal the way I adore you. I have been going about for the last six months telling the whole of society that I adore you. I wonder you consent to have anything to say to me. I have no character left at all. At least, I feel so happy that I am quite sure I have no character left at all.

And when wind and winter harden
All the loveless land,
It will whisper of the garden,
You will understand.

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
