Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or family:

    “the mother lies down on her marriage bed
    and eats up her heart like two eggs.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I acknowledge that the balance I have achieved between work and family roles comes at a cost, and every day I must weigh whether I live with that cost happily or guiltily, or whether some other lifestyle entails trade-offs I might accept more readily. It is always my choice: to change what I cannot tolerate, or tolerate what I cannot—or will not—change.”
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
