Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures.

Summary

This quote suggests that while the institution of marriage may bring along its own set of challenges and difficulties, it also offers the potential for joy and fulfillment. On the other hand, choosing a life of celibacy may shield one from certain pains associated with relationships but is devoid of the pleasures that come with intimacy and companionship. It implies that despite the hardships that may arise in marriage, the overall experience of being in a committed relationship outweighs the emptiness and lack of fulfillment that can be found in a life without romantic or sexual connections.
