Quote

Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.

Marriage, in life, is like a duel in the midst of a battle.

Marriage is the tomb of love.

Marriage is a blood sport. Marriage is jousting. It's disembowelment. It's just terrible, terrible visceral injuries. It's not for everybody.

The institution of marriage should be re-examined because of its overwhelming claustrophobia. The odds are stacked against spontaneity and effervescence. It's an institution that was brought about for the sake of family and children, but biologically, it's very unnatural. It's masochism and torture the way it's been organized.

Marriage is nature's way of keeping us from fighting with strangers.

Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses.

Marriage is a kind of prison for anyone who's miserable in it - men and women alike - and anyone who's suffered through difficult periods in marriage dreams of escape from it.

Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred.
