Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.
Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: routine.
There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.
There are four stages in a marriage. First there's the affair, then the marriage, then children and finally the fourth stage, without which you cannot know a woman, the divorce.
There is no marriage in Heaven, but there is love.
It is better to be unhappy in love than unhappy in marriage, but some people manage to be both.
Marriage, if one will face the truth, is an evil, but a necessary evil.
Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside equally desperate to get out.
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
The point of marriage is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude, and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust
Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.
