Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or death:

    Worst, when this sensualism intrudes into the education of young women, and withers the hope and affection of human nature, by teaching that marriage signifies nothing but a housewife’s thrift, and that woman’s life has no other aim.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Ai! ai! we do worse! We are in a fix! And you’re out, Death let
    you out, Death had the Mercy, you’re done with your century, done with God, done with the path thru it—
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
