“Compromise, if not the spice of life, is its solidity. It is what makes nations great and marriages happy”
“If variety is the spice of life, marriage is the big can of leftover Spam.”
“It's [marriage] about two people compromising, said Fee. It's about two people caring for each other and wanting to do as much as they can to make each other happy while still maintaining their own self-respect, which can sometimes get complicated . . . .”
“I worship you, but I loathe marriage. I hate its smugness, its safety, its compromise and the thought of you interfering with my work, hindering me; what would you answer? ”
“What has made this nation great? Not its heroes but its households.”
“Marriage is about compromise; it's about doing something for the other person, even when you don't want to.”
