Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or death:
“Only one marriage I regret. I remember after I got that marriage license I went across from the license bureau to a bar for a drink. The bartender said, “What will you have, sir?” And I said, “A glass of hemlock.””
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
