Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or issue:
“Adultery is the vice of equivocation.
It is not marriage but a mockery of it, a merging that mixes love and dread together like jackstraws. There is no understanding of contentment in adultery.... You belong to each other in what together you’ve made of a third identity that almost immediately cancels your own. There is a law in art that proves it. Two colors are proven complimentary only when forming that most desolate of all colors—neutral gray.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“An artist is a man of action, whether he creates a personality, invents an expedient, or finds the issue of a complicated situation.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
