Famous quotes containing the word marriage:

    “the mother lies down on her marriage bed
    and eats up her heart like two eggs.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Our home has been nothing but a play-room. I’ve been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papa’s 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. That’s what our marriage has been, Torvald.”
    —Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)

    “For the longest time, marriage has had a guilty conscience about itself. Should we believe it?—Yes, we should believe it.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
