"A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises." ― Andre Maurois Topic(s): Marriage More From Andre Maurois "The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past." "Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul." "Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us. The most solid happiness can be shaken by the compassion of a fool." More In Marriage "It’s the best marriage of songs and production. But I have to say, I have an affinity for Bossanova."― Joey Santiago "The biggest problem in my life is trying to be the kind of man that I want to be, the father that I want to be, and how to process the failure of my marriage."― Ethan Hawke "I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents. But that isn’t always the best way, and it took me taking my son to therapy after the divorce to really see it."― Regina King
