I found it an interesting portrait of a marriage in exploring notions of how one partner supports the other whilst not jeopardizing the greater good - which is the family.

I think I'm a combination of very simple pleasures and the fact I've read a lot of books. I don't think it's a binary opposition across the board in humans and I think I'm an example that it's not. I'm hosting gay marriage rallies and I have tons of guns at home. There's a lot of middle ground in the world and I'm one of those people.

I think long-lasting healthy relationships are more important than the idea of marriage. At the root of every successful marriage is a strong partnership.

Marriage is overdone. As long as there are people people are going to find it interesting.

I don't know why but the older I get the more interested I get in my parents' marriage. And it's interesting to be married yourself too because there is an inevitable comparison.

My parents had a great marriage. Interestingly it made it harder for me in relationships because I knew what a good relationship looked like.

Marriage of attraction is a gamble anyway so you might as well marry into a family that is similar to your own and make that much less of an adjustment. But the 'love marriage' as it is called is equally common in India now. But it would be interesting to do a comparison of what would work better. Marriage is hard work and it is a gamble.

I know that the odds are against a marriage lasting 60 years.

Marriage is something that needs to be worked on every day. I don't know if I'm the one to give marital advice since I've only been married for a little over a year but marriage is certainly easier if you are open trusting and loving.

Marriage is too interesting an experiment to be tried only once.

Like everything which is not the involuntary result of fleeting emotion but the creation of time and will any marriage happy or unhappy is infinitely more interesting than any romance however passionate.

Marriage n: the state or condition of a community consisting of a master a mistress and two slaves making in all two.

You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It's one of the major happinesses. And so much more lasting than love so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.

The first thing which I can record concerning myself is that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution - this everlasting living soul began. My mind loses itself in these depths.

Life is very interesting... in the end some of your greatest pains become your greatest strengths.

Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.

Develop an interest in life as you see it the people things literature music - the world is so rich simply throbbing with rich treasures beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
