“By marrying to soon, many individuals sacrifice their chance to struggle through this purgatory of solitude and search toward a greater sense of self-confidence. They glance at the world outside the family and with hardly a second thought grasp anxiously for a partner. In marriage they seek a substitute for the security of the family of origin and an escape from aloneness. What they do not realize is that moving so quickly from one family to another, they make it easy to transfer to the new marriage all their difficult experiences in the family of origin.” WorldSelfMovingIndividualEasyDifficultRealizingChanceStruggleGreaterSacrificeSecuritySolitudeSelf ConfidencePartnersSubstitutesGlancesTransfersSense Of SelfMarryingPurgatorySecond ThoughtsDifficult Experiences Author:Augustus

“In early youth, if we find it difficult to control our feelings, so we find it difficult to vent them in the presence of others. On the spring side of twenty, if anything affects us, we rush to lock ourselves up in our room, or get away into the street or the fields; in our earlier years we are still the savages of nature, and we do as the poor brutes do. The wounded stag leaves the herd; and if there is anything on a dog's faithful heart, he slinks away into a corner.” IfsYearsHeartStillsFeelingsDifficultSidesPoorRoomsStreetsDogFieldsYouthSolitudeSpringTwentiesCornersFaithfulGet AwayLocksSavagesWoundedBrutesHerdsStags Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
