Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. A second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience. Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After marriage, the 'Y' becomes silent. Marriage is an institution.
Love is blind.
Therefore, marriage is an institution for the blind. I believe in dragons, good men, and other fantasy creatures. Love is like a handfull of sand, the harder you hold on to it, the more it slips away. It's all small stuff. Many a man owes his success to his first wife and his second wife to his success.
