In our
monogamous part of the world, to marry means to halve one's
rights and double one's duties.
-- Arthur Schopenhauer
1788-1860, German Philosopher
To marry is to
halve your rights and double your duties.
-- Arthur Schopenhauer
1788-1860, German Philosopher
A little
weeping, a little wheedling, a little self-degradation, a
little careful use of our advantages, and then some man will
say ''.Come, be my wife!'' With good looks and youth
marriage is easy to attain. There are men enough; but a
woman who has sold herself, even for a ring and a new name,
need hold her skirt aside for no creature in the street.
They both earn their bread in one way. Marriage for love is
the most beautiful external symbol of the union of souls;
marriage without it is the least clean traffic that defiles
the world.
-- Olive Schreiner

The world must
be peopled. When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not
think I should live till I were married.

Playwright, Actor
When two
people are under the influence of the most violent, most
insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they
are required to swear that they will remain in that excited,
abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death
do them part.
-- George Bernard Shaw
1856-1950, Irish-born British
Dramatist
It is a
woman's business to get married as soon as possible, and a
man's to keep unmarried as long as he can.

Marriage is
popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with
the maximum of opportunity.
