Quotations
Marriage
Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage.
-Ambrose Bierce

"Anne of Avonlea"

-Gabriel García Márquez
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
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
Why does a woman work ten years to change a man’s habit and then complain that he's not the man she married?
