-Nora Ephron
Quotations
Marriage
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
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
-Erma Bombeck
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
Become the kind of person the kind of person you would like to marry would like to marry.
-Douglas Wilson
In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic; a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts; an enabler rather than a reformer.
-H. Norman Wright
There is a French saying; Love is the dawn of marriage and marriage is the sunset of love.
-De Finod
There is more of good nature than of good sense at the bottom of most marriages.
-Henry David Thoreau
There's no more usual basis of union than mutual misunderstanding.
-Henry James
"The Portrait of a Lady"
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.
-Henny Youngman
