Relationships (11)

[And now for something deadly provocative... - Part 1/3]

1. «One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never get married.»

2. «The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact.»

3. «I have often observed that in married households the champagne is rarely of a first-rate brand.»

4. «I am not in favour of long engagements. They give people the opportunity of finding out each other's character before marriage, which I think is never advisable.»

5. «How marriage ruins a man! It's as demoralising as cigarettes, and far more expensive.»

6. «The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.»

7. «When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs.»

8. «If we men married the women we deserve we should have a very bad time of it.»

9. «It is the growth of moral sense in women that makes marriage a hopeless one-sided institution.»

10. «The proper basis for marriage is mutual misunderstanding.»
