"A man marries to have a home, but also because he doesn't want to be bothered with sex and all that sort of thing." -W. Somerset Maugham
(HAHA!)
"Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something." - Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
