Benedict's Change of Heart

"I may chance have some odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me, because I have railed so long against marriage: but does not the appetite alter?  A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.  Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of the brain awe a man from the career of his humour?  No, the world must be peopled.  When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married. "

Act III Scene I
