Marriage:

"Of course I see how civilised it is to be a spinster," said Rachel. "I shouldn't think savage countries have spinsters. I never know why marriage goes on in civilised countries, goes on openly. Think what would happen if it were really looked at, or regarded as impossible to look at. In the marriage service, where both are done, it does happen."

— from Men and Wives

"So dangerous, these fusions of personality, don't you think?"

— Ivy Compton-Burnett quoted by Hilary Spurling in Ivy: The Life of I. Compton-Burnett

"People ought not to marry openly," said Hugo. "It is one of those things that should be recognised but veiled."
