Quotations
Marriage
A woman is not property and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dreamworld.
-Robert A. Heinlein
Oh, of course there's a risk in marrying anybody, but when it's all said and done, there's many a worse thing than a husband.
-L. M. Montgomery
"Anne of Avonlea"
Two people can only live as one when each is prepared to give and receive trust and understanding. Above that lies respect. Without respect for how the other feels, no marriage is worthwhile.
-Helen Hollick
"The Kingmaking"
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
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
-Gabriel García Márquez
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
There is a French saying; Love is the dawn of marriage and marriage is the sunset of love.
-De Finod
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen
