Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or children:

    “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)

    “It comes down to a doubt about the wisdom
    Of having children after having had them,
    So there is nothing we can do about it
    But warn the children they perhaps should have none.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
