"Far from the Madding Crowd"
Don’t be jealous if I spend 50% of my time with you and 50% of my time with others, because you get 100% of 50%, while all the others have to share that other 50%. This is the speech I’ve prepared to tell my wife in the future, when I’m spending a majority minus one percent of my time with my clones.
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

"Commencement"
A man in love is incomplete until he is married. Then he's finished.
