Quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein

Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony.

Summary

This quote suggests that not all religions have the same strict views on sex as St. Augustine, a theologian known for his conservative perspective. The quote points out that even in contemporary culture, weddings are often held in religious settings, and while it is commonly acknowledged that the couple will engage in sexual activity after the ceremony, it does not diminish the religious significance of the event. The idea conveyed is that one's attitude towards sex and their religious beliefs can coexist in various ways across different cultures and religious practices.

People who are not in love fail to understand how an intelligent man can suffer because of a very ordinary woman. This is like being surprised that anyone should be stricken with cholera because of a creature so insignificant as the comma bacillus.
