“Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.”

“The women’s movement warned every girl how marriage can seduce her to make a sacrifice of her career. But no one warned every boy how marriage can seduce him to make a sacrifice in his career.”

“The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.”

“To him who in the love of Nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language.”

“She knew now that marriage did not make love. Janie’s first dream was dead, so she became a woman.”

“Please believe him. Keep your heart open to him. He can make you happy. He has always loved you, and you once loved him with all your heart.”

“Man has a choice and it's a choice that makes him a man.”

“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”

“God … demands everything, in order to give everything anew to him who loves Him, after that loving has truly given up all.”

“What a man sees, Love can make invisible—and what is invisible, that can Love make him see.”
