Famous quotes containing the word wives:
“Not only do our wives need support, but our children need our deep involvement in their lives. If this period [the early years] of primitive needs and primitive caretaking passes without us, it is lost forever. We can be involved in other ways, but never again on this profoundly intimate level.”
—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
“It is as acceptable now to love the wives of others as it is to smoke their cigars and read their books.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
