Quotations
Marriage
Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: Routine.
-Honoré De Balzac
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.
