Famous quotes containing the word marriages:

    “You can no more keep a martini in the refrigerator than you can keep a kiss there. The proper union of gin and vermouth is a great and sudden glory; it is one of the happiest marriages on earth, and one of the shortest-lived.”
    —Bernard Devoto (1897–1955)

    “Good marriages are made in heaven. Or some such place.”
    —Robert Bolt (1924–1995)

    “If common sense had been consulted, how many marriages would never have taken place; if uncommon or divine sense, how few marriages such as we witness would ever have taken place!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
