One was never married, and that's his hell; another is, and that's his plague.

I've been married eight and a half years. I like being married, too. I like being married for two reasons. One, I got really tired to dating, and two, I got really tired of exercising. I don't understand these couples who get married and continue to exercise and eat healthily. I mean, what's the point of getting married if you can't let yourself go? It's not as if you have to be attractive anymore; the race is over, take off the uniform.
Jeff Stilson
Nothing is so catching as the plague; now, fanaticism, no matter of what nature, is only the plague of the human mind.
Giacomo (Jacques Casanova de Seingal) Casanova
I was about to say, 'Avoid fame like the plague,' but you know, they can cure the plague with penicillin these days.

I was MARRIED for TWO FUCKING YEARS! Hell would be like Club Med!
Sam Kinison
Ordinarily we speak only of a married man’s unfaithfulness, but what is just as bad is a married man’s lack of faith. Faith is all that is required, and faith compensated for everything. Just let understanding and sagacity and sophistication reckon, figure out, and describe how a married man ought to be: there is only one attribute that makes him loveable, and that is faith, absolute faith in marriage. Just let experience in life try to define exactly what is required of a married man’s faithfulness; there is only one faithfulness, one honesty that is truly loveable and hides everything in itself, and that is the honesty toward God and his wife and his married estate in refusing to deny the miracle.
