I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman.

Creative people don’t behave very well generally. If you’re looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you’re gonna be depressed real fast. I don’t have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She’s my first priority.

No one will ever win the battle of the sexes; there’s too much fraternizing with the enemy.

The question of sexual dominance can exist only in the nightmare of that soul which has armed itself, totally, against the possibility of the changing motion of conquest and surrender, which is love.

The public doesn’t mind people living together without being married, providing they don’t overdo it.

I’ve never had a divorce, but I’ve seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can’t write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I’m able to kind of express it, or their joy.

A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.

My favorite thing in life is writing about life, specifically the parts of life concerning love. Because, as far as I’m concerned, love is absolutely everything.

Any man who doesn’t love his mama can’t be no friend of mine.

I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end… I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.

When I was a youngster I lived with different families. I nearly always felt closer to the man of the house. Maybe because I always dreamed of having a father of my own.

What good am I? I can’t have kids. I can’t cook. I’ve been divorced three times. Who would want me?

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.

A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.

I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

Country radio is much more like a family than any other group of people that I’ve met.

God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.

I mean, families are weird.

If one by one we counted people out For the least sin, it wouldn’t take us long To get so we had no one left to live with. For to be social is to be forgiving.

True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.

I’m a girls‘ girl. I have guy friends, but the problem with having guy friends is, like, I always get linked to them, and they’ll end up in a slideshow of people I’ve apparently dated on the Internet.

My dad was the town drunk. Most of the time that’s not so bad; but New York City?

I’m working at trying to be a Christian, and that’s serious business. It’s like trying to be a good Jew, a good Muslim, a good Buddhist, a good Shintoist, a good Zoroastrian, a good friend, a good lover, a good mother, a good buddy – it’s serious business.

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

You notice how liberals keep saying, ‚If only Islam would have a Reformation‘ – it can’t have one. It says it can’t. It’s extremely dangerous in that way.

Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.

We want our marriage to be a triumph, not a tragedy.

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

I’ve done the bad-boy thing. It was fun for a good three months. But the thing about bad boys is, you have to keep in mind, you’re never gonna marry a bad boy.

People say that about me, that I apparently buy houses near every boy I like – that’s a thing that I apparently do. If I like you I will apparently buy up the real-estate market just to freak you out so you leave me.

Doing Saturday Night Live definitely affects my relationship with my girlfriend and with my family, because you feel so much pressure to do well that night. But I think everyone’s grown to accept that and so they give me my space at the show.

I had this child, and it destroyed my family.

I’m just a friendly person; that runs in my family.

He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.

Unless you love someone, nothing else makes any sense.

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

There are no rules when it comes to love.

If I love you, what business is it of yours?

I look upon every day to be lost, in which I do not make a new acquaintance.

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.

I believe that Jesus was, you know, the Son of God. And I understand that… we need to be really, really respectful to people who find that ridiculous and… preposterous.

They say marriages are made in Heaven. But so is thunder and lightning.

It’s better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone – so far.

There is no subject on which more dangerous nonsense is talked and thought than marriage.

I have been a firm believer in the federal structure of our country as enshrined in the Constitution.

Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.

Love always ends differently and it always begins differently – especially with me.

The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.

I take my kids to school. And if I go to work, I go to work, and they visit me on set. I come home. I have dinner with my family. I have breakfast with my family. I have a very solid, very warm home.

I should like to know what is the proper function of women, if it is not to make reasons for husbands to stay at home, and still stronger reasons for bachelors to go out.

No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her, but many a woman hate a man for being a friend to her.

Husbands never become good; they merely become proficient.

We do not know what love is. We know the symptoms of it, the pleasure, the pain, the fear, the anxiety and so on. We try to solve the symptoms, which becomes a wandering in darkness. We spend our days and nights in this, and it is soon over in death.

What is virtue but the Trade Unionism of the married?

When women kiss it always reminds one of prize fighters shaking hands.

I don’t know what’s better gettin‘ laid or gettin‘ paid.

I married my best friend that happens to be a girl.

Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people.
