Quote by G.K. Chesterton

“I suppose that St. George is our own original St. George, who killed the Dragon and afterwards married the grand lady. In many of the marriages of grand ladies, however, which take place in this parish, the preliminary ceremony of the gentleman killing a dragon is often omitted. I am against all this dropping of the full formalities.”

“Anne's Will by Stewart Stafford Young Shakespeare set off to London town, To quill and ink his masterpiece plays, Still, Anne Hathaway grew anxious; Marriage and family rent twain ways. He vowed to send back funds to them, With a fledgling kiss, Will was gone, Tearful goodbyes of wife and daughters, Stratford shrank, cartwheels spun. The distance honeyed homesickness, The farther from hearth Will roamed, The capital's theatres awaited him; Words etched in stone in folio tome. The absentee bard kept his word true; Admirably providing for kin well, Through a bitter, lonely aftertaste, With only one truism to tell: "For, aye, where'er there was a Will, Truly, good Anne always hath a way." © Stewart Stafford, 2024.

“एक पटकको बर्षात्‌ले कतिन्जेल भिजाएर राख्न सक्छ र धरतीलाई ? धरतीलाई ओसिलो र मलिलो राख्न बर्षात्‌ भई नै रहनुपर्छ । पुरुषहरू शायद यो बुझ्नै सक्दैनन् । त्यसैले त एकै सिजनमा मायाले निथ्रुक्क भिजाएर बाँकी जीवन बर्सिनै बिर्सिदिन्छन् उनीहरू । र चाहन्छन् त्यही एक सिजनको बर्षात्‌को सहारामा हामी महिलाहरू आजीवन भिजिरहौँ । कसरी सम्भव हुनसक्छ यो ?”

“I gave the best and all my life to a girdled tree. It was live oak, and was good for any purpose, except for blossom and fruit, and I am not willing for Belle to be content with anything less than the whole of a man's heart. [Varina Davis, Letter to a friend, advising against his daughter Belle marrying a widower]”

“Marriage suddenly didn’t seem like enough to safeguard what she meant to me. Why wasn’t there something more binding than a mere piece of paper that gave me the right to call her my wife? Vows were a promise, but what I needed was a guarantee that every day of my life would have her in it. I wanted my heart to beat in rhythm with hers and stop when hers did. Inextricably entwined, so I would never live even a moment without her.”
