Matrimony Quotes

“Marriage is not kick-boxing, it's salsa dancing.”

“It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.”

“It takes a sterner stuff for a person in love to think straight. Most people fall head over heel in love leaving their minds behind. Love sweeps them off their feet and they stand lopsided, and so is their thinking. They accept the unacceptable in the guise that love is blind. When the reality of matrimony opens their eyes, they are pregnant with regrets.”

“To the loyal and to the blood-lovers, in the good families and in the fiery dynasties, life is family and family is life. It is the same people who give advice and their vices to live well who turn out to be the ones who give resource and reason to live long.”

“The only difference between having an affair here and having an affair there was that the American men would always ended up losing half of his estates over a woman he was infatuated just as much as the next tramp who would come his way, while Japanese men would only earn more respect from their subordinates through the possession of much younger women, as a sign of prowess and affluence, while their wives at home, as if there were rule books distributed nationally on the “proper” marriage etiquette for all young Japanese women to read before they enter into the matrimony, would turn a blind eye on their disloyalty quietly.”

“New dreams are like new wines; they grow sweeter over time. With patience, you will be able to climb your spiritual, financial, academic, marital and social ladders in Jesus' name!”

“After one divorce and other on the way I am seriously considering a ME-rriage now and .t's going to be epic! I will ask my hand in meTRInomy, for it will become a trigamy. And me, my higher self and third I will live happily ever after life...We will live in threesomeness!”

“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.”

“In modern times couples are more concerned about loyalty than love.”

“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.”

“Für Sylvester Stallone ist, ins Unreine gesprochen, eine Beziehung von vornherein zum Scheitern verurteilt, wenn sie mit Arbeit verbunden ist.”

“Was heute den Partnern belanglos oder gänzlich undenkbar erscheinen mag, kann anderntags bereits das unwiderrufliche Aus der Beziehung bedeuten.”

“Es mutet unstreitig höchst befremdlich an, dass Bollywood der leidenschaftlichen Liebe das Wort redet, während ebendie im Alltag der Inder faktisch ohne Belang ist. Wer unter die Haube kommt, lässt sich nämlich nach wie vor von althergebrachten Erwägungen wie Abkunft, Konfession, Bildung und Einkommen leiten, was ja beileibe nicht ausschließt, sein Herz an den künftigen Partner verlieren zu können.”

“Im Wesen des Menschen liegt es, ein Chaos heraufzubeschwören, weil das Gehirn nichtlinear arbeitet. Insofern ist es am Einzelnen, sich seiner Haut zu wehren und dem Chaos die Stirn zu bieten.”

“Während in Indien die Familien die Sache in die Hand nehmen, hat ihr Modell im Westen als Dienstleistung der Partneragenturen Schule gemacht. Von daher mutet es höchst befremdlich an, wenn Europäer hergehen und die arrangierte Ehe der Inder als Horrorvorstellung brandmarken.”

“Your god, sir, is the World. In my eyes, you, too, if not an infidel, are an idolater. I conceive that you ignorantly worship: in all things you appear to me too superstitious. Sir, your god, your great Bel, your fish-tailed Dagon, rises before me as a demon. You, and such as you, have raised him to a throne, put on him a crown, given him a sceptre. Behold how hideously he governs! See him busied at the work he likes best -- making marriages. He binds the young to the old, the strong to the imbecile. He stretches out the arm of Mezentius and fetters the dead to the living. In his realm there is hatred -- secret hatred: there is disgust -- unspoken disgust: there is treachery -- family treachery: there is vice -- deep, deadly, domestic vice. In his dominions, children grow unloving between parents who have never loved: infants are nursed on deception from their very birth: they are reared in an atmosphere corrupt with lies ... All that surrounds him hastens to decay: all declines and degenerates under his sceptre. Your god is a masked Death.”

“There must be some other possibility than death or lifelong penance ... some meeting, some intersection of lines; and some cowardly, hopeful geometer in my brain tells me it is the angle at which two lines prop each other up, the leaning-together from the vertical which produces the false arch. For lack of a keystone, the false arch may be as much as one can expect in this life. Only the very lucky discover the keystone.”
