Famous quotes containing the words wife and/or mary:
“In America a woman loses her independence for ever in the bonds of matrimony. While there is less constraint on girls there than anywhere else, a wife submits to stricter obligations. For the former, her father’s house is a home of freedom and pleasure; for the latter, her husband’s is almost a cloister.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“I want that head so sanitary and squared away that the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in there and take a dump.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
