Famously, the CIA is somewhere where marriages hardly ever last because it's obviously such a strange lifestyle.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People in the CIA, they marry each other. They're like actors! We have to travel without much warning to far-flung places, and it's very hard to communicate what our experiences are like to those in the outside world.
The institution of marriage, if you look at it over many centuries, has come and gone.
Every marriage is a mystery to me, even the one I'm in. So I'm no expert on it.
I'm amazed, as quirky, individual and selfish as most of us are, that anyone stays married for long.
A really good detective never gets married.
The death of marriage has been announced so often and would seem so normal, in a sense. So what's surprising is the sheer longevity and tenacity of this institution.
The public doesn't mind people living together without being married, providing they don't overdo it.
Look at all the marriages that have been wonderfully successful where fellows finished their army service and came home to go to college on G.I. bills and their wives worked.
I thought marriage was something very quiet and very regular and very bourgeois.
I think that everyone should get married at least once, so you can see what a silly, outdated institution it is.
