"Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change." ― Katherine Mansfield Topic(s): Marriage More From Katherine Mansfield "I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing." "Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different." More In Marriage "I’ve never quite understood why people marry; marriage is just an invented structure."― Julie Christie "It’s only fair that stable gay relationships of long standing should have the same rights and responsibilities as married couples. I know the image of gay marriage is to some people horrific and ludicrous."― Ian Mckellen "The possibility of divorce renders both marriage partners stricter in their observance of the duties they owe to each other. Divorces help to improve morals and to increase the population."― Denis Diderot
