Wise Mating: A Treatise on Monogamy Quotes

“The more we humanize the society, the more we will become humans.”

“We biologists often use the phrase “Mother Nature” to refer to the entire system of Nature that we see around us, but it is not really an entity, and it does not have any real concern for any of its living creatures – it lives on with or without us; it is in our human psychology to impose a human-like identity upon any grand system that we encounter around us – it gives us a sense of closeness to that system and makes us feel an essential part of it. When I say, Mother Nature designed us, or programmed us, I am simply referring to the process of natural selection.”

“Promoting promiscuity in this evolved and civilized society is actually like signing the Declaration, that says: “I hereby renounce my membership of humankind, since I am neither human nor kind. I declare that I no longer belong to the modern human species, i.e. the Homo sapiens. From now on I shall be counted among the swingers of the animal kingdom, such as the bonobo or montane vole. I am simply an arrogant philandering savage.”

“Sometimes, humanity surprises me with all its lack of control over the primordial urges. These innate urges are the biological traits that make us similar to the rest of the animal kingdom. But the modern qualities that make us superior to all the animals are intellect and self-control.”

“Humanity is not a word my friend. It is a symbol – a symbol of hope – a symbol of wisdom – yet this very symbol has become disgraced by our faults and deluded justification of mistakes.”

“Arise, my friend – the world is wailing for kindness – it is wailing for compassion – it is wailing for love.”

“Two married partners do not just live with each other, they live in each other, neurologically speaking.”

“When two people fall in love, they not only give up their genuine authority over their own lives, but also, they become mutual authorities of the collective life that they build together.”

“A healthy world is made of healthy nations. A healthy nation is made of healthy families. And a healthy family can only be raised on the foundation of a monogamous relationship.”

“Cheating is an innate evolutionarily programmed desire, especially in men, but it is not a desire that cannot be controlled.”

“A healthy marriage acts as the vessel of wellbeing and stability for both partners as well as the children.”

“Do not seek for the best partner, but seek for the person who makes you a better version of yourself.”

“Let me tell you a story. There was a student who asked his teacher, what is love? The teacher said go into the field and bring me the most beautiful flower. The student returned with no flower at hand and said, “I found the most beautiful flower in the field but I didn't pick it up for I might find a better one, but when I returned to the place, it was gone.” We always look for the best in life. When we finally see it, we take it for granted and after some time start expecting a better one, not knowing that it's the best for us.”

“Marriage is not a competition. Marriage is completion of two souls.”

“True love is born out of the pyre of two committed souls.”

“A human is the one, who would give up a thousand Cleopatras to be with the person he or she loves.”

“Cheating in relationship is a sign of self-regulation failure. When it happens ones, it is a mistake. When it happens twice, it is unfortunate. But when it happens thrice or more, it is a pattern indicating primitive, uncivilized inhuman behavior.”

“Either one is promiscuous or in a relationship - it cannot be both at the same time.”

“Polygamy is a luxury of the cave-people, and monogamy is an existential responsibility of the civilized society.”

“Try to respond to your partner instead of reacting.”

“Polygamy is about sex, whereas monogamy is about love.”
