-Gabriel García Márquez
Quotations
Marriage
One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.
-Oscar Wilde
The desire to get married is a basic and primal instinct in women. It's followed by another basic and primal instinct: the desire to be single again.
-Nora Ephron
A man ought to be able to be fond of his wife without making a fool of himself about her.
-George Bernard Shaw
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
-Michel De Montaigne
Oh, of course there's a risk in marrying anybody, but when it's all said and done, there's many a worse thing than a husband.
-L. M. Montgomery
"Anne of Avonlea"
You'll be happy if you'll remember that men don't change much. Women do. Women adapt themselves, and if you think that means they lose their individuality, you're wrong. Show me a happy marriage and I'll show you a clever woman.
-Elizabeth Cadell
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
Marriage is more about work than about divine luck, more about finding someone to love than about finding someone to meet your own laundry list of personal needs.
-Mark Gorman
Some marriages are made in heaven, but they all have to be maintained on earth.
-Debbie Macomber
"Mrs. Miracle"
