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
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
Marriage is a fine institution, but I'm not ready for an institution.
-Mae West

-Debbie Macomber
"Mrs. Miracle"
Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.
-Albert Einstein
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"
To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.
-G. K. Chesterton
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen

Marriage should be between a spouse and a spouse, not a gender and a gender.
-Hendrik Hertzberg
