“When you open a door for others to have an opinion on your relationship, it can be dangerous. Find what you need, not what everyone else wants for you. Women have been taught that in order to have a place in the world, an identity, they must marry and have children. If that's the life you truly want, great. But for many women, marriage is only about needing the world to know that someone desires them enough to say, "Here's a contract to prove that I love you and will commit to you for the rest of my life."”

“If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you fall short of. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.”

“But women often find their husbands don't love them for the things they value in themselves, and part of the charm of an affair is you can give what you want, and need only give if you choose.”

“You have succeeded in life when all you really WANT is only what you really NEED.”

“You can have everything in life that you want if you just give enough other people what they want.”

“Having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face. You really need to be certain it's what you want before you commit.”

“When you gone to get married? You need to have some babies. It’ll settle you.'
'I don’t want to make somebody else. I want to make myself.”

“No matter what your age and no matter where you come from, everyone can change the world in some way, whether it's being a mentor to someone younger than you or someone that doesn't have as much experience as you. If you're passionate enough, you can do whatever you want and definitely change the world.”

“I hope nothing valuable may have been taken from the house in spite of you, but you know what women are—they always want to do the best they can for the man who marries them, and never give another thought to the children of their first husband, nor to their father either when he is dead and done with.”

“Two men as two women and as a man and a woman can have a loving relationship and make a commitment. And that's what marriage is about.”
