Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside equally desperate to get out.

Book III, ch. 5.Michel de Montaigne
» Michel de Montaigne - all quotes »
People hate it when they're tickled because laughter is not pleasant, if it goes on too long. I think it's a desperate sort of convulsion in desperate circumstances, which helps a little.
Kurt Vonnegut
Marriage is a desperate thing.
John Selden
Desperate affairs require desperate measures.
Horatio Nelson
Es gibt keine verzweifelten Lagen, es gibt nur verzweifelte Menschen. (There are no desperate situations, there are only desperate people.)
Heinz Guderian
What is this thing called the existence? Is it all the things that we perceive it to be? Or is it something else? It's a gift. One of my favorite examples is the bird in the cage. You may think that you own the bird inside the cage, but you're wrong. You only own the cage. People think that they need to have a very fancy cage, that the more incredible the cage, the more incredible the bird will look. But the cage and the bird are really two different things. When the bird is gone, all that will be left is the cage.
