Whoever marries the spirit of this age will find himself a widower in the next.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife's spirits.
Whoever, fleeing marriage and the sorrows that women cause, does not wish to wed comes to a deadly old age.
For many women, becoming a widow does not just mean the heartache of losing a husband, but often losing everything else as well.
Most people think that a widow is inhabiting some elegiac world of - it's like Mozart's 'Requiem Mass.' You know, it's very beautiful and elevated thoughts and some measure of dignity. I didn't have that experience at all. I had one pratfall after another.
Being a widower is not that groovy when you lose someone you really love, and you have to go out and date again.
I should say, one of the things about being a widow or a widower, you really, really need a sense of humor, because everything's going to fall apart.
I wouldn't be caught dead marrying a woman old enough to be my wife.
On her son Rene: Oh my God, when he's 20 years old what's going to happen to me? I'm gonna marry him.
One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
He who has not the spirit of this age, has all the misery of it.
