Marriage was contrived for ordinary people, for people who are capable of neither great love nor great friendship, which is to say, for most people, but also for those exceptionally rare ones who are capable of love as well as of friendship.

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

The best friend will probably acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is founded on the talent for friendship.

Many brief follies-that is what you call love. And your marriage puts an end to many brief follies, with a single long stupidity.

Love, friendship, laughter... some of the best things in life really are free.

Our love affair ended in tears but a deep bond grew out of it, and that's something nobody can take away from us. It's unreachable.
