Mr. Collins to be sure was neither sensible nor agreeable; his society was irksome, and his attchment to her must be imaginary. But still he would be her husband. Without thinking highly either of men or of matrimony, marriage hd always been her object; it was the only honourable provision for well-educated young women of small fortune, and however uncertain of giving happiness, must be their pleasantest preservation from want.
(from Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen)
