.....I present to you, some very interesting quotes on marriage, from literature.
‘Marriage is between two people. There is no studio audience.' (An American Marriage - Tayari Jones)
Who needs a studio audience when you have social media? However…..
‘A marriage is a very secret place.’ (The Black Prince - Iris Murdoch)
Instagram doesn’t tell the whole truth, always remember that because…
‘In almost every marriage there is a selfish and an unselfish partner.’ (A Severed Head - Iris Murdoch)
Sad, but true. In which case….
‘It is my advice to any woman getting married to start, not as you mean to go on, but worse, tougher, than you mean to go on.' (A Far Cry from Kensington - Muriel Spark)
It might work, it might not work but don’t fret because..
‘Marriages, my dear, are made to be broken, that’s one of the rules of modern civilisation.’ (A Backward Place - Ruth Prawer Jhabvala)
Wait a second…this post is about a celebration of marriage, not dissolution! Most literary masterpieces are usually around unhappy marriages so I think it wasn’t such a good idea to dip into literary quotes.....
‘Marriage: a hopeful, generous, infinitely kind gamble taken by two people who don’t know yet who they are or who the other might be, binding themselves to a future they cannot conceive of and have carefully omitted to investigate.’
(The Course of Love - Alain de Botton)
