Famous quotes containing the words marriage and, marriage and/or issue:

    “Christianity as an organized religion has not always had a harmonious relationship with the family. Unlike Judaism, it kept almost no rituals that took place in private homes. The esteem that monasticism and priestly celibacy enjoyed implied a denigration of marriage and parenthood.”
    —Beatrice Gottlieb, U.S. historian. The Family in the Western World from the Black Death to the Industrial Age, ch. 12, Oxford University Press (1993)

    “Every relationship that does not raise us up pulls us down, and vice versa; this is why men usually sink down somewhat when they take wives while women are usually somewhat raised up. Overly spiritual men require marriage every bit as much as they resist it as bitter medicine.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “An artist is a man of action, whether he creates a personality, invents an expedient, or finds the issue of a complicated situation.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
