Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or status:

    “Divorce is probably of nearly the same date as marriage. I believe, however, that marriage is some weeks the more ancient.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    “The influx of women into paid work and her increased power raise a woman’s aspirations and hopes for equal treatment at home. Her lower wage and status at work and the threat of divorce reduce what she presses for and actually expects.”
    —Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
