Twenty years of romance make a woman look like a ruin, but twenty years of marriage make her something like a public building.
Oscar Wilde
To watch the corn grow, or the blossoms set; to draw hard breath over the plough or spade; to read, to think, to love, to pray, are the things that make men happy.
John Ruskin
Neurotics build castles in the air, psychotics live in them. My mother cleans them.
