-Ray Bradbury
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.

-Nicholas Sparks
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.
