Husbands and wives talk of the cares of matrimony, and bachelors and spinsters bear them.

Wilkie Collins

People always assume that bachelors are single by choice and spinsters because nobody asked them. It never enters their heads that poor bachelors might have worn the knees of their trousers out proposing to girls who rejected them or that a girl might deliberately stay unmarried.

Jilly Cooper

Simply coming to the perpetrator and delivering the message is Nozick's definition of revenge. And in that sense, Adi is exacting revenge. When people ask, "Does Adi want revenge?" - they mean violent revenge. But in Nozick's formulation, it is revenge. That is the essence of revenge.

Errol Morris

you know that the urge for revenge is a fact of marital life.

Jane Smiley

In a word: charity cannot be neutral, antiseptic, indifferent, lukewarm or impartial! Charity is infectious, it excites, it risks and it engages! For true charity is always unmerited, unconditional and gratuitous!

Pope Francis

The uselessness and expensiveness of modern women multiply bachelors.

Samuel Richardson

Men who don't understand women fall into two groups: Bachelors and Husbands.

Daniel Tosh

Why can't these American women stay in their own country? They are always telling us that it is the paradise for women. It is. That is the reason why, like Eve, they are so excessively anxious to get out of it.

Oscar Wilde

Give women the vote, and in five years there will be a crushing tax on bachelors.

George Bernard Shaw

Some men are born for matrimony, some achieve matrimony -- but most of them are merely poor dodgers.

Helen Rowland

Great women and men are always more anxious to serve than to have dominion.

Spencer W. Kimball

I joined the army to avenge the deaths of my family and to survive, but I've come to learn that if I am going to take revenge, in that process I will kill another person whose family will want revenge; then revenge and revenge and revenge will never come to an end.

Ishmael Beah

The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.

H. L. Mencken

Women need to take charge of their lives and be as dynamic and active as they can be. I know that some people feel that there's a negative connotation to the notion of feminism like it has some hidden and ugly undercurrent. But that's ridiculous. My mother was a feminist and she was very politically-minded and always anxious to defend women's rights and advance a lot of social issues for women.

Amy Poehler

[...] I suppose this was the first time I had ever felt an urge not to be. Never an urge to die, far less an urge to put an end to myself - simply an urge not to be. This disgusting, hostile and unlovely world was not made for me, nor I for it. It was alien to me and I to it.

Stephen Fry

Without thinking highly either of men or of matrimony, marriage had always been her object; it was the only honourable provision for well-educated young women of small fortune, and however uncertain of giving happiness, must be their pleasantest preservative from want.

Jane Austen
