Famous quotes containing the word marriage:

“We lov’d, and we lov’d, as long as we could,

‘Twas pleasure first made it an oath.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)

“With my desire to write he seemed in full sympathy, and in urging our early marriage he argued that my first necessity was leisure in which to develop and to master my craft. It appeared to me that with such a man as teacher and guide I could not fail, and it was in a queer mixture of young love and vaulting ambition that I became a wife.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
