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

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%.

-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.
