Famous quotes containing the word couples:

    The evening falters. Couples in their coats
    Are leaving gaps already, and the rest
    Move tables closer.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    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 Queequeg—a cosy, loving pair.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
