More on Marriage
“The most incomprehensible thing in the world to a man, is a woman who rejects his offer of marriage!”
“Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward, and you will have the truth about him.”
“Marriage was contrived for ordinary people, for people who are capable of neither great love nor great friendship, which is to say, for most people--but also for those exceptionally rare ones who are capable of love as well as of friendship.”
More on Happiness
“Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek.”
“Happiness is such a fleeting point of view - there's no such thing as continual happiness.”
“We ate well and cheaply and drank well and cheaply and slept well and warm together and loved each other.”
