Cynical Marriage Sayings

#1. If they lost the incredible conviction that they can change their wives or husbands, marriage would collapse at once.

Logan Pearsall Smith

#2. Goldsboro, North Carolina.

John Feinstein

#3. 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.

Carolee Dean

#4. I spent the first five years of my life in Punjab, India, and then moved to New York.

Waris Ahluwalia

#5. Catholics don't believe in divorce. We do believe in murder. There's always Confession, after all.
Brianna Fraser to Roger MacKenzie

Diana Gabaldon

#6. Obama's position on marriage is brazenly cynical.

David Limbaugh

#7. 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.

Sadie Frost

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

Donna Brazile

#9. 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

#10. 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

#11. Religions are all the same ... Based upon legends and fantasies

Thomas Jefferson

#12. It's all right if you don't mind looking at the world from the point of view of a paralyzed Cyclops - for a split second.

David Hockney

#13. Bush proposed a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Some saw the move as an attempt to preserve traditional values, while others saw it as a cynical ploy to ensure that Vice President ... Cheney will never have to pay for his gay daughter's wedding.

Jon Stewart

#14. I'm not cynical about marriage or romance. I enjoyed being married. And although being single was fun for a while, there was always the risk of dating someone who'd owned a lunch box with my picture on it.

Shaun Cassidy

#15. What every girl dreams of when she's dumped is - that the guy will someday feel regrest and come back and tell her all about it. And the beauty of it is you have no regrets whatsoever.

Emily Giffin

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

Federico Garcia Lorca

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