Famous quotes containing the word couples:
“In the best of all possible worlds, childbirth enriches a marriage. In the worst, it harms it. No matter how good their marriage is, most couples find that having a baby challenges their relationship.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
“How it is I know not; but there is no place like a bed for confidential disclosures between friends. Man and wife, they say, there open the very bottom of their souls to each other; and some old couples often lie and chat over old times till nearly morning. Thus, then, in our hearts honeymoon, lay I and Queequega cosy, loving pair.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“Could that old god rise up again
Wed drink a can or two,
And out and lay our leadership
On country and on town,
Throw likely couples into bed
And knock the others down.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
