Quotations
Marriage
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.
-Henny Youngman
Two people can only live as one when each is prepared to give and receive trust and understanding. Above that lies respect. Without respect for how the other feels, no marriage is worthwhile.
-Helen Hollick
"The Kingmaking"
Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage.
-Ambrose Bierce
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"
There is nothing more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.
-Homer
"The Odyssey"
Marriage isn't about Winning - It's about Lasting
-Mark Gorman
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriage should be between a spouse and a spouse, not a gender and a gender.
-Hendrik Hertzberg
To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.
-G. K. Chesterton
