    • 1901, Charles Kingsley, Two Years Ago, Volume I:
      I am not one of those who anatomise their own married happiness for the edification of the whole public, and make fame, if not money, out of their own wives' hearts.
    • 2023, Eleanor Catton, Birnam Wood, page 15:
      If Mrs. Noakes knew how unsparingly she was anatomised, then she possessed more fortitude of character than either Mira or her daughter ever diagnosed, for despite her initial reistance to Shelley's sudden change of course, and despite her frequent sharing of career vacancy advertisments 'just to give you a sense of what's out there', Mrs Noakes had really come around to Birnam Wood; in fact, it pained Shelley to admit, when her mosther spoke about it now, it was with real pride and admiration.
