Quote by Nina George

“...коли ти жінка й виходиш заміж, то безповоротно стаєш у спостережну позицію. Ти повинна контролювати все — що твій чоловік робить, як він почувається. А потім, з появою дітей, контролювати також їх. Ти стаєш сторожовою собакою, слугою і дипломатом одночасно. І така дрібниця, як розлучення, цього не відміняє. О, ні — кохання може прийти і піти, але турбота не припиняється.”

“Well, sure, the vows say “in sickness and health” and “for better or worse” and all that, but that’s kind of like clicking okay to the terms and conditions when you download an app or sign up for a credit card. You don’t think any of that is going to apply to you.”

“You’re not humble at this point. You are a coward. So is any man who doesn’t come out and tell his intentions to a woman he’s interested in—and hang all this ‘I’m not ready.’ God doesn’t work with ready people, people who refuse to take a risk, people who wait for the perfect circumstances to align before every forward step—you’re the one who taught me that.”

“Adevaratul inconvenient al casatoriei este ca te face altruist. Si oamenii altruisti sunt lipsiti de culoare. Le lipseste individualitatea. Cu toate astea, exista anumite temperamente care devin mai complexe in urma casatoriei. Isi pastreaza egoismul si ii adauga mai multe ego-uri. Sunt obligati sa duca mai multe vieti. Devin mult mai bine organizati si a fi foarte bine organizat este, dupa parerea mea, obiectivul existentei umane.”

“When I was a kid, I heard a story about half of all marriages end in divorce. At that time, it was a story about my parents. Twenty years later, I heard the same story — that half of all marriages end in divorce. Then, it was a story about my wife and I. Today, I heard the same story again — that half of all marriages end in divorce. Now, it’s a story about my kids. I heard that same exact story three times — the same exact words — but each time I heard it, it was a completely different story. It changed because I changed.”
