Famous quotes containing the word marriage:

    A funeral is not death, any more than baptism is birth or marriage union. All three are the clumsy devices, coming now too late, now too early, by which Society would register the quick motions of man.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    In all perception of the truth there is a divine ecstasy, an inexpressible delirium of joy, as when a youth embraces his betrothed virgin. The ultimate delights of a true marriage are one with this.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Women hope men will change after marriage but they don’t; men hope women won’t change but they do.
    Bettina Arndt (20th century)
