Famous quotes containing the word marriage:
“Our home has been nothing but a play-room. Ive been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papas doll-child. And the children have been my dolls in their turn. I liked it when you came and played with me, just as they liked it when I came and played with them. Thats what our marriage has been, Torvald.”
—Henrik Ibsen (18281906)
“Either marriage is a destiny, I believe, or there is no sense in it at all, its a piece of humbug.”
—Max Frisch (19111991)
“We lovd, and we lovd, as long as we could,
Till our love was lovd out in us both;
But our marriage is dead, when the pleasure is fled:
Twas pleasure first made it an oath.”
—John Dryden (16311700)
