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
