Wed

Famous quotes containing the word wed:

“Most of the folktales dealing with the Indians are lurid and romantic. The story of the Indian lovers who were refused permission to wed and committed suicide is common to many places. Local residents point out cliffs where Indian maidens leaped to their death until it would seem that the first duty of all Indian girls was to jump off cliffs.”
—For the State of Iowa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

“Whoever, fleeing marriage and the sorrows that women cause, does not wish to wed comes to a deadly old age.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

“There is no living, none,
If Bertram be away. ‘Twere all one
That I should love a bright particular star
And think to wed it, he is so above me.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
