Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or issue:
“We have seen that men are learning that work, productivity, and marriage may be very important parts of life, but they are not its whole cloth. The rest of the fabric is made of nurturing relationships, especially those with children—relationships which are intimate, trusting, humane, complex, and full of care.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“I cannot wish the fault undone, the issue of it being so proper.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
