Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or children:

    Adultery is the vice of equivocation.
    It is not marriage but a mockery of it, a merging that mixes love and dread together like jackstraws. There is no understanding of contentment in adultery.... You belong to each other in what together you’ve made of a third identity that almost immediately cancels your own. There is a law in art that proves it. Two colors are proven complimentary only when forming that most desolate of all colors—neutral gray.
    Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)

    A year at the breast is quite enough; children who are suckled longer are said to grow stupid, and I am all for popular sayings.
    Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
