Quotations
Marriage
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
Marriage should be between a spouse and a spouse, not a gender and a gender.

I love you.
You are beautiful.
Please forgive me.

I wouldn't want to marry anybody who was wicked, but I think I'd like it if he COULD be wicked and WOULDN'T.
-L. M. Montgomery
