Wives
are young men's mistresses; companions for middle
age, and old men's nurses.

In
marriage there are no manners to keep up, and
beneath the wildest accusations no real criticism.
Each is familiar with that ancient child in the
other who may erupt again. We are not ridiculous to
ourselves. We are ageless. That is the luxury of the
wedding ring.
-- Enid Bagnold
1889-1981, British
Novelist, Playwright
It is
easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple
reason that it is more difficult to be witty every
day than to say pretty things from time to time.
-- Honore De Balzac
1799-1850, French
Novelist
A
woman must be a genius to create a good husband.
