Marriage Quotes

When I was using the free dictionary today, I saw a quote on marriage.

“A man marries to have a home, but also because he doesn't want to be bothered with sex and all that sort of thing.” --W. Somerset Maugham

For my curiosity, I googled quotes on marriage. I found more. Here are a few I found interesting.

“Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.”-- Helen Rowland

“After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her.”-- Mark Twain

“My advice to you is to get married. If you find a good wife, you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher.”—Socrates

5th Anniversary--Americanizing

September 21st, 2006 is my 5th anniversary coming to the US. I have been to the US for 5 years already!!! Gradually, I have been Americanized.

First year, when I was searching for housing, a landlady asked me “Are you from China?” just a couple minutes of the conservation on the phone. I was also quite often asked “Do you have culture shock?”

Second year, people could ask me “Where (here implying which country) are you from?” after a five-minute face-to-face conversation.

Third year, no one asked me “Do you have culture shock?” However, I was asked "Are you a native Amercian?" when I was visiting Boston.

Fourth year, no question on which country I was from was asked.

This year, I was asked "Are you a Mexican?" when I was in Paris.
