When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment.
-Warren Farrell
Quotations
Marriage
Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart!
-Nathaniel Hawthorne
"The Scarlet Letter"
Marriage should be between a spouse and a spouse, not a gender and a gender.
-Hendrik Hertzberg
I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
-Rita Rudner
Marriage is more about work than about divine luck, more about finding someone to love than about finding someone to meet your own laundry list of personal needs.
-Mark Gorman
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
When a woman thinks her husband is a fool, her marriage is over. They may part in one year or ten; they may live together until death. But if she thinks he is a fool, she will not love him again.
-Philippa Gregory
"The Other Queen"
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
Well, in the first place girls never marry the men they flirt with. Girls don't think it right.
-Oscar Wilde
"The Importance of Being Earnest"
To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.
