“Marriage," she said quietly, "is the most expensive ticket to nowhere”

“Marriage is about the most expensive way for the average man to get his laundry done.”

“I'm going to hang up now," she said quietly."Fine.""Good-bye, Ian," she said.He paused again. She thought she heard something like a sniff or a choke, but it was probably the sound of him tearing up his plane ticket. "Good-bye, Amy."She hung up the phone: Dan and Nellie were quiet."Well, think about it," said Dan. "Did you really want Natalie Kabra as a sister-in-law?”

“One-way ticket nowhere there's no windows on his train.Can't see where I'm headed but I'm going there again.”

“Good heavens! how marriage ruins a man! It's as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.”

“Back when I was a competitive swimmer, I used to dream of going to the Olympics. But then I changed my mind, once I found out how expensive the tickets are.”
