-Gabriel García Márquez
Quotations
Marriage
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.
-Jarod Kintz "This Book Has No Title"
A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.
-Honoré De Balzac
Women leave their marriages when they can't take any more. Men leave when they find someone new.
-J. Courtney Sullivan
"Commencement"
Well, in the first place girls never marry the men they flirt with. Girls don't think it right.
-Oscar Wilde
"The Importance of Being Earnest"

-Nora Ephron
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives.
-Benjamin Franklin
Why does a woman work ten years to change a man’s habit and then complain that he's not the man she married?
-Barbra Streisand
It appears that ordinary men take wives because possession is not possible without marriage, and that ordinary women accept husbands because marriage is not possible without possession.
-Thomas Hardy
"Far from the Madding Crowd"
When in a relationship, a real man doesn't make his woman jealous of others; he makes others jealous of his woman.
-Steve Maraboli
