Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.
Helen Rowland

Marriage, in life, is like a duel in the midst of a battle.
Edmond About

Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!
William Hazlitt

It's not always been a happy marriage. I guess I wanted a quick fix.
David Byrne

Perhaps my problem in marriage-and it is the problem of many women-was to want both intimacy and independence. It is a difficult line to walk, yet both needs are important to a marriage.
Hedy Lamarr

The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn't get a divorce for almost a year.
Hedy Lamarr

Mr. DeMille's theory of sexual difference was that marriage is an artificial state for women. The want to be taken, ruled, raped. That was his theory.
Hedy Lamarr

I have a terrific marriage, but unlike a lot of relationships where they ebb and flow, no matter what happens you fall deeper and deeper in love every day. It's kind of the best thing that can happen to you. It's thrilling.
Hugh Jackman

Never again! I can see no reason for marriage - ever at all. I've had it. Three times is enough.
Ingrid Bergman

Daddy was real gentle with kids. That's why I expected so much out of marriage, figuring that all men should be steady and pleasant.
Loretta Lynn

I think what makes our marriage work amid all the glare is that my husband is my best friend. He inspires everything in my life and enables me to do the best that I can. I want to hang out with him more than anyone.
Faith Hill

After about 20 years of marriage, I'm finally starting to scratch the surface of what women want. And I think the answer lies somewhere between conversation and chocolate.
Mel Gibson

Marriage is the torment of one, the felicity of two, the strife and enmity of three.
Washington Irving

For marriage to be a success, every woman and every man should have her and his own bathroom. The end.
Catherine Zeta-Jones

I worked with John, but I had enough sense to walk just a little ways behind him. I could have made more records, but I wanted to have a marriage.
June Carter Cash

A good businessman never makes a contract unless he's sure he can carry it through, yet every fool on earth is perfectly willing to sign a marriage contract without considering whether he can live up to it or not.
Dalton Trumbo

Accident counts for as much in companionship as in marriage.
Henry B. Adams

Marriage ain't easy, but it's great most of the time.
Sean Penn

Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them.
Sydney Smith

Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business.
Gwyneth Paltrow
