Quotations
Marriage
The true love is unconditional.
Marriage is a conditional bond.
-Toba Beta
"My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut"

-Thomas Hardy
"Far from the Madding Crowd"
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
It is most unwise for people in love to marry.
-George Bernard Shaw
