“In our 20s we tend to do what we think we should. In our 30s we do what we want to do, and in our 40s we question whatever we've done.”
― Gail Sheehy

“You both gain and lose when you get married. You gain a partner who will work with you (if you're marrying a Christian)…But you lose the ability to do everything on your own, do only what you want to do, eat only what you want to eat, sleep in if you don't want to get up, watch only the TV programs you want to see, quit a job if you don't like it, move to another town if you prefer, or join the circus. In short, you lose the ability to be selfish without paying a horrible price.”
― Ray Mossholder, Singles Plus: The Bible and Single Life

“When you've lived alone for a number of years I'm afraid that you begin to realize how hard it would be to accommodate to living with someone else. Adjusting to or even indulging his desires and his life. It was clear to me that I was married to my job. And that I loved it.”
― Katharine Graham, 我的一生略小于美国现代史：凯瑟琳·格雷厄姆自传

“This life I have is what I needed. It's what God intended for me. I'm so much happier than I thought I'd be. So much happier than I deserve to be.”
― Jane Austen
