    “Marriage and deathless friendship, both should be inviolable and sacred: two great creative passions, separate, apart, but complementary: the one pivotal, the other adventurous: the one, marriage, the centre of human life; and the other, the leap ahead.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “We lov’d, and we lov’d, as long as we could,
    Till our love was lov’d out in us both;
    But our marriage is dead, when the pleasure is fled:
    ‘Twas pleasure first made it an oath.”
    —John Dryden (1631–1700)

    “My family pride is something inconceivable. I can’t help it. I was born sneering.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
