“There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship /only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses. The death has occurred much earlier.”
Erica Jong
“Long engagements give people the opportunity of finding out each other's character before marriage, which is never advisable.”
Oscar Wilde
“I love songs about horses, railroads, land, Judgment Day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak and love. And Mother. And God.”
Johnny Cash
“[In many ways, picking a college is a lot like marriage: the courtship, the ceremony, the cost. So it's not surprising many players compare it to falling in love.] Make the decision with both your head and your heart, ... When you're at the school for you, you'll know it.”
Kelli Kuehne
“It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations”
Kahlil Gibran
“It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.”
Khalil Gibran
“This is courtship all the world over - the man all tongue; the woman all ears”
Emily Murphy
