Quote by Bridget Morrissey

“I'd always known to my parents, love meant suffering. It meant enduring everything, no matter how bad. Only something publicly shameful was worth splitting up over. Even then, a case could be made for 'forgiveness.”

“Lukas: In traditional Greek Culture it would seen as admirable for a woman to live close to her parents Ashleigh: It doesn't work like that way where I'm from. I want to be independent of my parents, not living in their pockets. And wouldn't you think a husband would want his new wife to himself? Lukas: Oh, yes. If he had a woman like this for his wife he would not share her with anyone. Not that he ever wanted a wife. The example of his parents and others in their social set had turned him right off marriage.”

“Trust is fragile. Yet, the forces that crush it are not. Therefore, the person who is willing to extend trust into an environment such as this must be fragile enough to understand the trust that they are giving, while strong enough to face the forces that seek to crush it. And it is this person who is not stymied by the shallowness of those who understand neither and therefore destroy both.”

“What is negated is the rhetoric regarding obsession for gold as the dowry is that the parents have a choice to express their care and love for their daughter in a different form where they invest the resources in her education and training to help her acquire skills, nurture her talents, develop her aptitude, build her capacities, and make her independent from the very beginning of her life, so that in case of any emergency, she may face challenges to survive and flourish in any circumstances. Preparing her to get gold medals and accolades in any skill, may be prioritized rather than giving gold at the time of marriage.”
