Quote by A.P. Herbert
The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep
Summary
This quote sarcastically criticizes the idea that a long-standing relationship without any conflict is praiseworthy. It implies that such a relationship lacking disagreement or argument reflects a certain level of conformity and an absence of independent thinking or personal growth. By likening this commendable quality to that of sheep, the quote suggests that a healthy relationship should embrace individuality, confront differences, and foster lively discussions to ensure personal development and vitality.
