"Many brief follies--that is what you call..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
Many brief follies--that is what you call love. And your marriage puts an end to many brief follies, with a single long stupidity.

More on Love
“When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.”
“I am no longer alone with myself, and I can only artificially recall the scary and beautiful feeling of solitude. This is the shadow side of the fortune of love.”
“I feel pity for him, and that is a poor sign of love.”
More on Marriage
“She wasn't, nor ever had been, under the illusion that marriage was a relationship characterized by endless bliss and romance. Throw any two people together, add the inevitable ups and downs, give the mixture a vigorous stir, and a few stormy arguments were inevitable, no matter how the couple loved each other.”
“It is a mistake for a taciturn, serious-minded woman to marry a jovial man, but not for a serious-minded man to marry a lighthearted woman.”
“Fools are as like husbands as pilchards are to herrings, the husband's the bigger.”
