Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or family:

    “Men commonly couple with their idea of marriage a slight degree at least of sensuality; but every lover, the world over, believes in its inconceivable purity.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I am the family face;
    Flesh perishes, I live on,
    Projecting trait and trace
    Through time to times anon,
    And leaping from place to place
    Over oblivion.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
