Quotations
Marriage
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
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.
-G. K. Chesterton
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"
From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven, and when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, the streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from that united being.
-Baal Shem Tov
A good marriage is where both people feel like they're getting the better end of the deal.
-Anne Lamott "Joe Jones"
Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate but through being the right mate.
-Barnett R. Brickner
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
The essential matrimonial facts: that to be happy you have to find variety in repetition; that to go forward you have to come back to where you begin.
-Jeffrey Eugenides
"Middlesex"
