"Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage."

William Shakespeare, English Dramatist

Marriage,

"When she had first crossed the dry and dusty world which his mind inhabited she had been like a spring shower; in opening himself to it he had not been mistaken. He had gone wrong only in assuming that marriage, by itself, gave him either power or title to appropriate that freshness. As he now saw, one might as well have thought one could buy a sunset by buying the field from which one had seen it."

C. S. Lewis, British Author

They must draw up work rosters, clean, chauffeur, cook, fix, throw away, mind, hire, fire, reconcile, and budget."

Alain de Botton, English Writer

"Love is the unfathomable ground that is hidden in darkness, but the resolution is the triumphant victor who, like Orpheus, fetches the infatuation of falling in love to the light of day, for the resolution is the true form of love, the true explanation and transfiguration."

Love

"Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living."

Life

Man

"At the bottom of enmity between strangers lies indifference."

Society

Truth

"Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself."

Love

"The writer can easily foresee his fate ... in an age when an author who wants to have readers must take care to write in such a way that the book can easily be perused during an afternoon nap ...."
