Espy.

sure to find out next morning it was someone else.'' --
Rogers

+ ``If you are afraid of loneliness, don't marry.'' --
Chekhov

union of a deaf man to a blind woman.'' -- Coleridge

+ ``Were it not for imagination, sir, a man would be as
happy in the arms of a chambermaid as a duchess.'' --

beautiful.'' -- Haskins

+ ``A man does not look behind the door unless he has
stood there himself.'' -- Du Bois

+ ``A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of
the house.'' -- Moliere

+ ``Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a
confusion of the real with the ideal never goes
unpunished.'' -- Goethe

but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little

answer... is, "What does a woman want?'' -- Freud

us than a cage is to a cockatoo.'' -- Shaw

+ ``Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside
desperate to get in, and those inside desperate to get
out.'' -- Montaigne

+ ``For a male and female to live continuously together
is... biologically speaking, an extremely unnatural
condition.'' -- Robert Briffault

+ ``Marriage is low down, but you spend the rest of your
life paying for it.'' -- Baskins

+ A wedding is a funeral where a man smells his own
flowers.

+ A man is not complete until he is married -- then he is
finished.

+ Marriage is a rest period between romances.

+ Marriage is the sole cause of divorce.

+ Marriage is a trip between Niagra Falls and Reno.

+ Marriage is an institution -- but who wants to live in
one?

+ Marriage is the process of finding out what kind of
person your spouse would have really preferred.

intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope
