Getting Married

  • Narmin Alasovahas quoted3 years ago
    The conditions of dissolution may vary widely, from those on which Henry VIII. procured his divorce from Katharine of Arragon to the pleas on which American wives obtain divorces (for instance, "mental anguish" caused by the husband's neglect to cut his toenails); but there is always some point at which the theory of the inviolable better-for-worse marriage breaks down in practice.
  • Дмитрий Кувшиновhas quoted4 years ago
    The only people who successfully evade it are those who actually avail themselves of its shelter by pretending to be married when they are not, and by Bohemians who have no position to lose and no career to be closed
  • Дмитрий Кувшиновhas quoted4 years ago
    There is no subject on which more dangerous nonsense is talked and thought than marriage.
  • Diana Indrapatihas quoted9 years ago
    When they finally give up the idea of reforming our marriage institutions by private enterprise and personal righteousness, and consent to be led to the Registry or even to the altar, they insist on first arriving at an explicit understanding that both parties are to be perfectly free to sip every flower and change every hour, as their fancy may dictate, in spite of the legal bond.
