Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or marriage:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”

“For the longest time, marriage has had a guilty conscience about itself. Should we believe it?—Yes, we should believe it.”
