- Ivan Doig
Quotations
Marriage
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

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
-Michel De Montaigne
I wouldn't want to marry anybody who was wicked, but I think I'd like it if he COULD be wicked and WOULDN'T.
-L. M. Montgomery
"Anne of the Island"
A man ought to be able to be fond of his wife without making a fool of himself about her.

From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven, and when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, the streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from that united being.
-Baal Shem Tov
When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.
