Life and Existence

Religion consists of a set of things which the average man thinks he believes and wishes he was certain.

I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.

No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.

God has no religion.

If there were no God, it would have been necessary to invent him.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

Love is more afraid of change than destruction.

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself.

So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.

To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

Some people claim that marriage interferes with romance. There's no doubt about it. Anytime you have a romance, your wife is bound to interfere.

By all means marry; if you get a good wife you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one you’ll become a philosopher .

And she's got brains enough for two, which is the exact quantity the girl who marries you will need.

Love is often the fruit of marriage.

My wife and I tried to breakfast together, but we had to stop or our marriage would have been wrecked.

Before marriage, a man declares that he would lay down his life to serve you; after marriage, he won't even lay down his newspaper to talk to you.

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.

Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.

All tragedies are finished by a death, all comedies are ended by a marriage.

A marriage certificate is just another word for a work permit.

Love the quest; marriage the conquest; divorce the inquest.
