Marriage Is Like Pleading Guilty

Never Believe A Rumour Until You Hear It Officially Denied.

The Law Seems Like A Sort Of Maze Through Which A Client Must Be Led To Safety, A Collection Of Reefs, Rocks, And Underwater Hazards Through Which He Or She Must Be Piloted.

Marriage Is Like Pleading Guilty To An Indefinite Sentence. Without Parole.

The People Look Forbidding, Solemn, Marked By That Impossible Ideal, Communism, Which, Like Christianity, Seemed To Demand Too Much Of Humanity And, Falling Into The Wrong Hands, Led Too Easily To Horrible Brutality.

The Old Middle-class Prerogative Of Being Permanently In A Most Filthy Temper.
