Cynical Marriage Sayings

#1. Marriage is always something of a compromise, as I'm sure you're now aware. Any long-term relationship is - and one does have to see it in the long term, Charles. No, I expect your mother and myself will never divorce. It's uneconomic and, at my age, usually unnecessary.

Martin Amis

#2. It's weird, marriage. It's like this license that gives a person the legal right to control their spouse / their 'other half.

#3. To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.

#10. I've actually always wanted to write like a one-person show that was sort of a romantic comedy - a show that was kind of cynical about romance and marriage but ultimately embraced it. Because I feel like comedy is always cynical, inherently, because it's contrarian.

Mike Birbiglia

#11. Because of my faith and my imagination, I was able to enjoy my childhood, even though it was tough.

Donna Brazile

#12. I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude, I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy, we talked for hours. It was a relief, really.

#16. I don't want to even think about what kind of creatures could be lurking out there in the dark in the middle of the sticks. Probably the same ones lurking around during the day, but I've learned that dangerous things like to wait till night to surface, when you can't see the coming.
