Quotations
Marriage
Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage.
-Ambrose Bierce
Marriage was not the combination of two entities into one; it was instead the creation of a third entity whose sole purpose was to soothe and inspire the two individuals.
-Christian Cantrell
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"
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
No marriage stays in the same pattern forever. It is both the best feature of marriage and the worst that it inevitably changes.
-Lisa Kleypas
"Love in the Afternoon"
The true love is unconditional.
Marriage is a conditional bond.
-Toba Beta
"My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut"
Women leave their marriages when they can't take any more. Men leave when they find someone new.
-J. Courtney Sullivan
"Commencement"
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
-Erma Bombeck
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
-Michel De Montaigne
