In taking out
an insurance policy one pays for it in dollars and cents,
always at liberty to discontinue payments. If, however,
woman's premium is a husband, she pays for it with her name,
her privacy, her self-respect, her very life, ''until death
doth part.''
-- Emma Goldman
1869-1940, American Anarchist
Love, the
strongest and deepest element in all life, the harbinger of
hope, of joy, of ecstasy; love, the defier of all laws, of
all conventions; love, the freest, the most powerful molder
of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be
synonymous with that poor little State and Church-begotten
weed, marriage?
-- Emma Goldman
1869-1940, American Anarchist
You, that are
going to be married, think things can never be done too
fast: but we that are old, and know what we are about, must
elope methodically, madam.
-- Oliver Goldsmith
1728-1774, Anglo-Irish
Author, Poet, Playwright

Love is blind
and marriage is the institution for the blind.
-- James Graham
1612-1650, Scottish General
Every time a
woman makes herself laugh at her husband's often-told jokes
she betrays him. The man who looks at his woman and says
''What would I do without you?'' is already destroyed.
-- Germaine Greer
1939-, Australian Feminist
Writer
I grew up in a
very large family in a very small house. I never slept alone
until after I was married.
-- Lewis Grizzard
Instead of
getting married again. I'm going to find a woman I don't
like and give her a house.
-- Lewis Grizzard
