Merry Wives

Famous quotes containing the words merry and/or wives:

“At last came one of the merry troop,
The gayest laddie of all the group;

He paused beside her and whispered low,
‘I’ll help you cross, if you wish to go.””
—Mary Dow Brine (1816–1913)

“... I want to live and be happy. I believe that we cannot be one or the other by pushing the absurd to all its consequences. I am like everyone. To feel liberated, I sometimes wish death on my loved ones, I covet the wives forbidden to me by the laws of family and friendship. To be logical, I should then kill or possess. But I judge that these vague ideas are unimportant. I everyone tried to put them to reality, we could neither live nor be happy.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
