Quotations
Marriage
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"
The proper basis for marriage is mutual misunderstanding.
-Oscar Wilde
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
-André Maurois
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
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
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
A man ought to be able to be fond of his wife without making a fool of himself about her.
-George Bernard Shaw
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets, the more interested he is in her.
