"I’ve never quite understood why people marry; marriage is just an invented structure." ― Julie Christie Topic(s): Marriage More From Julie Christie "I never will have peace of mind. I’m not constructed that way. Some things in life can be horrible." "As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I’m not going to say what they were." "Happiness is the absence of suffering. I think it’s an interesting way of looking at it. I think the absence of suffering exists very rarely in the world we live in." More In Marriage "All I know is it destroyed my family, it destroyed my marriage to Sylvester and I will never get over it."― Brigitte Nielsen "Civil union is less than marriage. Marriage is a sacred and valued institution and ought to be afforded equal protection."― James McGreevey "The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly."― Peter De Vries
