Love, marriage & divorce
Love, the quest, marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest. Helen Rowland
Parental Irresponsibility
Well I thought it was worth waiting 17 years for and with a lovely little jibe at the new parenting truths. Classic line from Bart: “I want one of those dads who – you know – what’s the word? Is the same in the evening as he was in the morning? I know : consistent”.
Norman Mailer
“You don’t know a woman until you’ve met her in court”
Still nothing changes!
When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn’t a sign that they don’ understand one another, but that they have, at last begun to. Plutarch
Nothing new under the sun
A Roman divorced from his wife, being highly blamed by his friends, who demanded, ‘Was she not chaste? Was she not fair? Was she not fruitful? holding out his shoe asked them whether it was not new and well made. ‘Yet’ added he, ‘none of you can tell me where it pinches me.’Plutarch
Samuel Butler
Family quarrels are bitter things. They don’t go according to any rules. They’re not like aches or wounds; they’re more like splits in the skin that won’t heal because there’s not enough material.
Ugo Bettie
I think the family is the place where the most ridiculous and least respectable things in the world go on.
