Quotations
Marriage
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"

-Nora Ephron
The heart is like a woman and the head is like a man, and although man is the head of woman, woman is the heart of man, and she turns man's head because she turns his heart.
-Peter Kreeft
"Jesus-Shock"
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
A man in love is incomplete until he is married. Then he's finished.
-Zsa Zsa Gabor
