Famous quotes containing the words marriages and/or offspring:

    Some marriages depend on domestic arguments the way the courts depend on litigation.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Bodily offspring I do not leave, but mental offspring I do. Well, my books do not have to be sent to school and college, and then insist on going into the church, or take to drinking, or marry their mother’s maid.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
