Wives

Famous quotes containing the word wives:

“There will be a world of water shed
Upon the parting of your wives and you.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“It is as acceptable now to love the wives of others as it is to smoke their cigars and read their books.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“... I want to live and be happy. I believe that we cannot be one or the other by pushing the absurd to all its consequences. I am like everyone. To feel liberated, I sometimes wish death on my loved ones, I covet the wives forbidden to me by the laws of family and friendship. To be logical, I should then kill or possess. But I judge that these vague ideas are unimportant. I everyone tried to put them to reality, we could neither live nor be happy.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
