Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or children:

    Let me not to the marriage of true minds
    Admit impediments. Love is not love
    Which alters when it alteration finds,
    Or bends with the remover to remove.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Our children tremble in their teen-age cribs,
    whirling off on a thumb or a motorcycle....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
