Irregular Marriage

Famous quotes containing the words irregular and/or marriage:

    “My father and I were always on the most distant terms when I was a boy—a sort of armed neutrality, so to speak. At irregular intervals this neutrality was broken, and suffering ensued; but I will be candid enough to say that the breaking and the suffering were always divided up with strict impartiality between us—which is to say, my father did the breaking, and I did the suffering.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “We hope the day will soon come when every girl will be a member of a great Union of Unmarried Women, pledged to refuse an offer of marriage from any man who is not an advocate of their emancipation.”
    —Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
