Quote by Erica Jong

Bigamy is having one husband too many. Monogamy is the same.

Bigamy is having one husband too many. Monogamy is the same.

Summary

This quote plays on the humorous insight that both bigamy and monogamy involve having just one partner too many. It suggests that although bigamy, which refers to being married to two people at the same time, is conventionally seen as morally wrong, monogamy, the practice of being married to only one person, may not be vastly different. The quote challenges the idea that monogamy is the only acceptable form of romantic relationships and subtly highlights the potential complexities and challenges that can arise in any type of committed partnership.
