-Vita Sackville-West
Quotations
Marriage
Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
-George Bernard Shaw
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"
Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: Routine.
-Honoré De Balzac
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
-Erma Bombeck
It is not your love that sustains the marriage,
but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"Letters and Papers from Prison"
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
When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.
-Sacha Guitry
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.
-Socrates
Remember that children, marriages and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
-H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
