Quote by E. W. Howe

Marriage is a good deal like a circus: there is not as much in it as is represented in the advertising.

Marriage is a good deal like a circus: there is not as much

Summary

This quote suggests that marriage, like a circus, often falls short of the grand expectations set by societal ideals and aspirations. The analogy highlights how the reality of marriage may not live up to the romanticized portrayals often depicted in advertisements and media. It implies that there may be hidden challenges and disappointments in marriage, just as there may be behind-the-scenes aspects, less glamorous than the dazzling show often advertised by the circus. Ultimately, the quote serves as a cautionary reminder of the potential disparity between expectations and reality in the institution of marriage.

There is never finality in the display terminal's screen, but an irresponsible whimsicality, as words, sentences, and paragraphs are negated at the touch of a key. The significance of the past, as expressed in the manuscript by a deleted word or an inserted correction, is annulled in idle gusts of electronic massacre.
