“Men marry for fortune, and sometimes to please their fancy; but, much oftener than is suspected, they consider what the world will say of it--how such a woman in their friends' eyes will look at the head of a table. Hence we see so many insipid beauties made wives of, that could not have struck the particular fancy of any man that had any fancy at all.” MenWorldLooksMadeSometimesEyeWifeParticularPleaseTablesFortuneFancyInsipid Book:Miscellaneous prose (1798-1834) Source: Miscellaneous prose (1798-1834)

“Politics is not really different from marriage. You cannot get things done in your relationship if you tell your wife: Look, if you haven't made the bed and if you don't get the food on the table, I will go and just hire someone and you will become irrelevant. That is not how you make a marriage work.” IfsLooksMadeDifferentDoneWifeHavensBedTablesOur RelationshipIrrelevantThings DoneTell Your Wife Author:Arnold Schwarzenegger
“My wife and I replaced our nest with one on wheels. The RV became our new home. It's remarkable how homey it became and how quickly. It's obviously very condensed, and we do travel light, but when you think about what you really need, we have the basics - a bed, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a table to sit at to eat and write.” ThinkingNeedsWritingHomeLightWifeBedTablesMy WifeKitchenWheelsRemarkableReplacedBathroomNestsBasicsNew HomeTravel LightRvs Author:David James
“I think that there's some brainwashing going on with this idea that we don't have time to cook anymore. We have made cooking seem much more complicated than it is, and part of that comes from watching cooking shows on television-we've turned cooking into a spectator sport. ...My wife and I both work, and we can get a very nice dinner on the table in a half hour. It would not take any less time for us to drive to a fast-food outlet and order, sit down, and bus our table.” ThinkingMadeIdeasShowsSeemsOrderSportsHoursHalfNiceWifeTelevisionDown AndTablesCookingComplicatedDinnerMy WifeCooksBusSpectatorsOutletsVery NiceFast FoodHalf HoursBrainwashingCooking Shows Author:Michael Pollan
