Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or family:
“Some collaboration has to take place in the mind between the woman and the man before the art of creation can be accomplished. Some marriage of opposites has to be consummated. The whole of the mind must lie wide open if we are to get the sense that the writer is communicating his experience with perfect fullness.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Welcome to the great American two-career family and pass the aspirin please.”
—Anastasia Toufexis (20th century)
