Quote by Ann Romney

I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a 'storybook marriage.' Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer.

I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a 'storybook marriage.

Summary

In this quote, the speaker, most likely Mitt Romney's wife, challenges the notion of a "storybook marriage." She implies that real-life marriages are far from idealized storybooks, as they entail hardships and challenges. By mentioning rainy winter afternoons and the struggles of raising five boys or dealing with illnesses like multiple sclerosis (MS) and breast cancer, she underscores the realities and complexities that are often absent from idealized narratives. Ultimately, she suggests that a strong and enduring marriage is built on resilience, perseverance, and weathering the storms together, rather than adhering to a fairytale-like ideal.

Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate,no despotism can enslave. At home, a friend, abroad, an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament.It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.
