Man Marrying

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or marrying:

    “When man has neither the strength to subdue his underworld powers—which are really the ancient powers of his old, superseded self; nor the wit to placate them with sacrifice and the burnt holocaust; then they come back at him, and destroy him again. Hence every new conquest of life means a “harrowing of Hell.””
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Marrying any man is risky. Marrying a famous man is kissing catastrophe.”
    —John Colton (1886–1946)
