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
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
How can two people love each other, create children together, cohabitation, build a life together, and then end up hating each other in the end.
-Zane
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
Catholics don't believe in divorce. We do believe in murder. There's always Confession, after all.
-Diana Gabaldon
"An Echo in the Bone"
Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.
-Albert Einstein
Marriage should be between a spouse and a spouse, not a gender and a gender.
-Hendrik Hertzberg
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
