Quote by Jonathan Horn

“I am too well acquainted with women to give advice to any of them when they are bound for the Port of Matrimony, because I never shall advise -any one- to marry the man she does not like and because I know it is to no purpose to advise them to refrain from the man they do.' -- GEORGE WASHINGTON, Letter to Lund Washington, August 13 1783.”

“Are you ready to go home, Catherine?” he asked. “It’s warm inside the house. I kept a fire going for you.” I continued looking at him, unsure how to respond. “Thanks,” I managed to say and then glanced in the direction of his house—our house. “Well, you are my wife. And I know you don’t like the cold.” I’m his wife, I thought to myself. He had said the words as if that simple fact made it necessary to be both thoughtful and kind. As if having gained a wife or husband meant having also gained her or his concerns, and hence the need to consider the person’s needs, wants, and preferences as strongly as one’s own. It struck me as a perfect description of what marriage ought to be. An agreeable notion that had not entered into my petty way of viewing matrimony. I would have assumed it to be above Thaddeus’ egotistical mindset as well. “Catherine?” he said again, watching me regard him with a quizzical expression. “Are you ready to go home?” I nodded, which made him smile.”

“Ob der Komplexität der Partnerwahl, der Frage der Chaoskontrolle zumal, ist auch Sylvester Stallones Ansatz durchaus brauchbar, wiewohl beileibe nicht das Gelbe vom Ei. Interessant indes allemal. So ist für ihn, ins Unreine gesprochen, eine Beziehung von vornherein zum Scheitern verurteilt, wenn sie mit Arbeit verbunden ist.”
