My mad Maori mate gave this book to me - he often picks it up and giggles away. A few samples are:
Don’t marry a man to reform him – that’s what reform schools are for. Mae West
I’ve married a few people I shouldn’t have, but haven’t we all? Mamie Van Doren
So that ends my first experience with matrimony, which I always thought a highly overrated performance. Isadora Duncan
So what would happen if suddenly, magically, men could menstruate and women could not?
Clearly, menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event:
Men would brag about how long and how much.
Young boys would talk about it as the envied beginning of manhood.
Gifts, religious ceremonies, family dinners, and stag parties would mark the day.
To prevent monthly work loss among the powerful, congress would fund a National Institute of Dysmenorrhea. Doctors would research little about heart attacks, from which men were hormonally protected, but everything about cramps.
Sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free.
Of course, some men would still pay for the prestige of such commercial brands as Paul Newman Tampons, Muhammad Ali’s Rope-a-Dope Pads, John Wayne Maxi Pads, and Joe Namath Jock Shields – “For Those Light Bachelor Days.”
Gloria Steinem
All the women moaning about finding husbands have obviously never had one.
Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near. Helen Rowland
Men are all right – it is the husbands who are hell! BBC Woman’s Hour
My husband will never chase another woman. He’s too fine, too decent, too old. Gracie Allen
To marry a man out of pity is folly; and,
If you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has “never had a chance, poor devil,” you are profoundly mistaken.
One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak;
And it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.
Margot Asquith
A lover teaches a wife all that her husband has concealed from her.
No Mother, I haven’t met Mr Right yet…But I have met Mr Cheap, Mr Rude, Mr Liar and Mr Married.
People keep asking me if I’ll marry again. It’s as if after you’ve had one car crash you want another. Stephanie Beacham.
