“The girl you marry and the woman you must make a life with are two different people.”

“Must you be in such haste to don your clothes, ser? I prefer you as you are. Abed, unclad, we are our truest selves, a man and a woman, lovers, one flesh, as close as two can be. Our clothes make us different people. - Arianne”

“When you see what some girls marry, you realize how they must hate to work for a living.”

“And she's got brains enough for two, which is the exact quantity the girl who marries you will need.”

“Don't make fun of people who are different. Unless they have more money and influence. Then you must”

“If I had a girl I should say to her, 'Marry for love if you can, it won't last, but it is a very interesting experience and makes a good beginning in life. Later on, when you marry for money, for heaven's sake let it be big money. There are no other possible reasons for marrying at all.”
