“I don't believe in marriage. I think at worst it's a hostile political act, a way for small-minded men to keep women in the house and out of the way, wrapped up in the guise of tradition and conservative religious nonsense. At best, it's a happy delusion - these two people who truly love each other and have no idea how truly miserable they're about to make each other. But, but, when two people know that, and they decide with eyes wide open to face each other and get married anyway, then I don't think it's conservative or delusional. I think it's radical and courageous and very romantic.” PeopleThinkingKnowsMenWayBelieveTwoIdeasEyeFacesPoliticalHouseReligiousWorstMarriedTraditionDon't BelieveConservativeWideMiserableRadicalNo IdeaNonsenseDelusionCourageousHostileLove Each OtherGuiseDelusionalVery RomanticEyes Wide Open Author:Tina Modotti
