Quote by Grace Tiffany

“I thought back on the near-eternity of our life together. Thirty years, the pith of which we’d spent in the swamp of boy-raising, where the channels of passion get child-choked.”

“DAD WAS STILL BEDRIDDEN when Shawn and Emily announced their engagement. It was suppertime, and the family was gathered around the kitchen table, when Shawn said he guessed he’d marry Emily after all. There was silence while forks scraped plates. Mother asked if he was serious. He said he wasn’t, that he figured he’d find somebody better before he actually had to go through with it. Emily sat next to him, wearing a warped smile.”

“Men are physical beings, but women are emotional. Cheating is not just having sex, but having an emotional attachment. A man will pay a prostitute just for him to cum. A man will sleep with 10 women but protect and love one woman.”

“What makes a successful marriage is not love. What makes a successful marriage is knowing your place in this divine covenant. A man is meant to love, and a woman is meant to submit. When you misplace your place, there is bound to be errors and chaos. Imagine a woman loving a man? She will be heartbroken cause the man is loving another. But when a woman is submissive to a man, the man is subjected by divine ordinance to love her, causing submissiveness to propel and activate love, no matter how you put it. Now, let's imagine a man submitting to a woman. Well, I have no explanation for that. It is appalling and not something anyone wants to hear. Love is shown by gifts (items, good treatment, kindness, etc), but submissiveness is shown by obeying, listening, and servanthood. Psychologically, a diligent servant has more respect than a son of the house who is arrogant. So, let's go back to the drawing board and make our marriages work”

“While the inbreeding was meant to stabilize the family, it had a paradoxical effect. Succession became a perennial crisis for the Ptolemies, who exacerbated the matter with poisons and daggers. Intermarriage consolidated wealth and power but lent a meaning to sibling rivalry, all the more remarkable among relatives who routinely appended benevolent-sounding epithets to their titles.”

“It’s not an act of bitterness. It’s an act of self-preservation. There’s simply no way to carry on with my life as it is now if I have to remember how much better things used to be.”

“This sudden talk of marriage bewildered me, even shocked me I think. It was as though the King asked one. It did not ring true. And he went on eating his marmalade as though everything were natural. In books men knelt to women, and it would be moonlight. Not at breakfast, not like this.”
