Quote by Paul Getty

Before marriage, many couples are very much like people rushing to catch an airplane once aboard, they turn into passengers. They just sit there.

Before marriage, many couples are very much like people rush

Summary

This quote highlights the dynamic shift that often occurs in relationships after the commitment of marriage. Before marriage, couples are typically driven by excitement, urgency, and the desire to build a life together. However, once they enter into matrimonial bonds, couples sometimes settle into a state of complacency, simply existing as passengers in their relationship. The metaphor of an airplane alludes to the idea that couples may lose their proactive approach, become passive, and fail to actively engage in nurturing their partnership.

Nobody controls me. I'm uncontrollable. The only one who can

Nobody controls me. I'm uncontrollable. The only one who can control me is me, and that's just barely possible. And that's the lesson I'm learning. If someone's going to impress me, whether it be a Maharishi or a Yoko, then there comes a point where the emperor has no clothes 'cause I'm naive, but I'm not stupid. For all you folks out there who think I'm having the wool pulled over my eyes, well, that's an insult to me. But if you think you know me, or you have some part of me because of the music, and then you think I'm being controlled like a dog on a leash because I do things with her, then screw you, brother or sister, you don't know what's happening. I'm not here for you, I'm here for me and her, and now the baby.
