Wife And Husband Quotes

“To celebrate his prosperity, fellow employees and friends urged him to take a young concubine to "serve him". Even Ye Ye's boss, the London-educated K. C. Li, jokingly volunteered to "give" him a couple of girls with his bonus. Ye Ye reported all this in a matter-of-fact way in a letter to his wife, adding touchingly that he was a "one-woman man".”

“Until that moment I'd thought I could have it both ways; to be one of them, and also my husband's wife. What conceit! I was his instrument, his animal. Nothing more. How we wives and mothers do perish at the hands of our own righteousness. I was just one more of those women who clamp their mouths shut and wave the flag as their nation rolls off to conquer another in war. Guilty or innocent, they have everything to lose. They are what there is to lose. A wife is the earth itself, changing hands, bearing scars.”

“((صاحبة الفضل الأولى علي في هذه الدنيا بعد الله)) و صاحبة الفضل الأولى عليَّ في هذه الدنيا بعد الله هي زوجتي ورفيقة عمري مي أبو السمن ( أم عمر). قد لا تعرف أو تقر كم هو فضلها عليَّ في مشوار هذا الدرب الطويل، وكم أحبها و أوثرها على نفسي، لم يكن هذا الحبّّ منّة ولا تضحية، سواء عندما كنا في الغربة أثناء فترة الدراسة أو أثناء مرضي وفترة علاجي أو في بيتنا مع أطفالنا. لم تكن حياتنا سهلة، كان علينا أن نبدأ من الصفر، ولكنها حاولت أن تجعل منها واحة وبستاناً من الورد الجوري زرعته في بقعة هادئة في ركن من حديقة المنزل. كانت تقدم لي النصيحة سواء طلبتها أم لم أطلبها، و ساعد في ذلك تربيتها العائلية، وثقافتها الراقية، ومعرفتها بالناس، و صراحتها في القول عندما أخطىء أو أصيب. أفرح كثيراً عندما أراها مبتهجة و أحزن كثيراً عندما أراها صامتة حزينة. بذلتْ قصارى جهدها وعمرها، و أفنت زهرة شبابها في العمل العام وتربية الأطفال والعناية بهم وبي. مخلصة لأسرتها ولوطنها ومؤدية فروض الصلاة في أوقاتها ومكثرة من الدعاء، والعطف على الفقراء والمحتاجين. كان فرحي كبيراً عندما أصبحت عضواً لمرتين في مجلس الأعيان (مجلس جلالة الملك). علمتني من الدروس الخاصة أكثر من دروس الحياة، و أعطتني من الحبّ والاحترام والاهتمام أكثر مما أنا بحاجة إليه، وبخاصة في أوقات المرض و أيام الشدّة. إنها عيناي اللتان ابصرت بهما الدنيا، وقلبي الذي ضخ في عروقي دماء الحياة . د. سليمان مفلح عربيات ( وجه القمر)”

“They say pale gilded flowers once blossomed here. They twinkled with excitement beneath the bright ardor of this sun. Each bearing a glint of hope that could heal the most broken of hearts. Yet, in disappointment . . . and regret—I found it to be a lie. For a long time, I lived in that lie. Hatefully ignorant of the person I had to become. If not for her wisdom, the only constant of my journey would be death. In her, we had found hope . . . . . . and it haunts me knowing she’s somewhere out there—alone. I will walk to the ends of the world, until the Gold from the sun dwindles away . . . if it means I can find you.”

“A man who marries a woman inferior to himself i.e. 'adopts' her must expect that she cannot feel anything for him but liking and gratitude. A woman is better off than a child, after all; if necessary, she can take care of herself, like any man. That she nevertheless allows her husband to pay all the bills is a personal concession that can be retracted at any time. She is entitled, therefore, to high expectations: everything done for her must be first-rate, otherwise she may engage another protector or else, depending upon circumstances, even decide to take care of herself. Compared with the real father, a wife's 'adopted father' has no hope of becoming his pseudo-child's protege in his old age, either. The most he can hope for is the status of an inadequate or pseudo-protege i.e. if he is lucky, he may come to enjoy the woman's altruistic love, her charity. The woman even gets a reward: she inherits his property, his insurance, his pension rights, so that he can go on providing for her after his death, the death she is statistically prepared to survive for, on the average, six years, plus the number of years she is younger than he is.”
