Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or issue:

    Yes, marriage is hateful, detestable. A kind of ineffable, sickening disgust seizes my mind when I think of this most despotic, most unrequited fetter which prejudice has forged to confine its energies.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    The issue is a mighty one for all people and all time; and whoever aids the right, will be appreciated and remembered.
