Wives

Famous quotes containing the word wives:

    “Oh yes, there is a vast difference between the savage and the civilized man, but it is never apparent to their wives until after breakfast.”
    —Helen Rowland (1875–1950)

    “... 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)

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