She shared his volcanic temperament, but admitted "My glass was half-filled with enthusiasm, his often half-empty with self-doubts. We were, however, definitely yin and yang". Their thirty-year marriage began on April 21, 1938.

Famous quotes containing the word marriage:

    From infancy, almost, the average girl is told that marriage is her ultimate goal; therefore her training and education must be directed toward that end. Like the mute beast fattened for slaughter, she is prepared for that.

    Women hope men will change after marriage but they don’t; men hope women won’t change but they do.
    Bettina Arndt (20th century)

    Always the same old story—
    Father Time and Mother Earth,
    A marriage on the rocks.
