George Bernard Shaw Quotes

Marriage is the most licentious of human institutions--I say the most licentious of human institutions: that is the secret of its popularity. And a woman seeking a husband is the most unscrupulous of all the beasts of prey. The confusion of marriage with morality has done more to destroy the conscience of the human race than any other single error.

George Bernard Shaw

Tom Robbins
