Famous quotes containing the words marriage, andy and/or williams:

    Our home has been nothing but a play-room. I’ve been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papa’s doll-child. And the children have been my dolls in their turn. I liked it when you came and played with me, just as they liked it when I came and played with them. That’s what our marriage has been, Torvald.
    Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)

    If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There’s nothing behind it.
    Andy Warhol (c. 1928–1987)

    Sure
    love is cruel
    and selfish
    and totally obtuse—
    at least, blinded by the light,
    young love is.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
