When marrying you should ask yourself this question: do you believe you are going to enjoy talking with this woman into your old age? Everything else in a marriage is transitory, but most of the time that you're together will be devoted to conversation.

Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity.

There is no subject on which more dangerous nonsense is talked and thought than marriage.

I have always considered marriage as the most interesting event of one's life, the foundation of happiness or misery.

Modern marriage has lost its meaning-consequently it is being abolished.

I came seriously close to getting married four times, and each time I backed off in fear or for one reason or another. Each occasion was different, but in hindsight when I look at the people involved, it wasn't a bad thing what I did. I think it may have been more complex had the marriage taken place.
