"I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness." More In Marriage "I’m not happy not doing anything. When positive things are rolling in, you’ve got to take them when you can get them."― Tori Spelling "There is no loneliness like that of a failed marriage."― Alexander Theroux "Well I think in a marriage you have to be honest and ask yourself, you know, what is my role?
