"'Yes, but then how often the happiness of these prudent marriages flies away like dust just because that passion turns up that they have refused to recognize," said Vronsky. “But by marriages of prudence we mean those in which both parties have sown their wild oats already. That’s like scarlatina — one has to go through it and get it over.”
“Then they ought to find out how to vaccinate for love, like smallpox.”
- Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
