Quote by Marie Corelli

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night.

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that the speaker never felt the need to get married because their three pets fulfill the typical functions of a spouse. The dog acts as a guard, waking them up with its growling, the parrot provides entertainment with its swearing, and the cat adds an element of mystery by coming home late. It is a lighthearted perspective that emphasizes the companionship and quirks provided by pets, implying that a human partner is not necessary for fulfilling certain needs.

Well, my personal mission statement is that we want marriage equality in all 50 states. We want it not to be a state-by-state issue. We don't want it to be something the majority is voting on. I don't think the civil rights of any minority should be in the hands of any majority.
