Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or life:
“From infancy, almost, the average girl is told that marriage is her ultimate goal; therefore her training and education must be directed toward that end. Like the mute beast fattened for slaughter, she is prepared for that.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Consider his life which was valueless

Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
