MARRIAGE AND LOVE The popular notion about marriage and love is that they are synonymous, that they spring from the same motives, and cover the same human needs.

Mit Liebe würde man in seinem ganzen Leben nie den Fehler bei der Frau oder den Kinder sehen. In Liebe sieht man niemals Fehler. Sieh nur, wie die Menschen Fehler aneinander finden: “Du bist so.“ “Nein, du bist so.“ Die Welt hat nicht einmal einen Hauch von Liebe gesehen.
