Famous quotes containing the word marriage:

    Worst, when this sensualism intrudes into the education of young women, and withers the hope and affection of human nature, by teaching that marriage signifies nothing but a housewife’s thrift, and that woman’s life has no other aim.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    For the longest time, marriage has had a guilty conscience about itself. Should we believe it?—Yes, we should believe it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
