Quote of the Day

In marriage, every day you love, and every day you forgive.  It is an ongoing sacrament -- love and forgiveness...  Like the yin/yang symbol...Here I am, and here she is, and here we are.  Now when I have to make a sacrifice, I'm not sacrificing to her, I'm sacrificing to the relationship ... That's what a marriage is -- whereas, in a love affair, you have two lives in a more or less successful relationship to each other for a certain length of time, as long as it seems agreeable.

-- Joseph Campbell

Quote of the Day

Marriage is not a love affair.  A love affair is a totally different thing.  A marriage is a commitment to that which you are.  That person is literally your other half.  And you and the other are one.  A love affair isn't that.  That is a relationship for pleasure, and when it gets to be unpleasurable, it's off.  But a marriage is a life commitment, and a life commitment means the prime concern of your life.  If marriage is not the prime concern, you're not married...

-- Joseph Campbell

Quote of the Day

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black

-- Johnny Cash, "Man in Black"

Quote of the Day

Marriage is not a simple love affair, it's an ordeal, and the ordeal is the sacrifice of ego to a relationship in which two have become one.

-- Joseph Campbell

Quote of the Day

You have to stop listening in categories.  The music is either good or it's bad.

-- Duke Ellington
