Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it.

Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is

Summary

This quote suggests that polygamy, the practice of having multiple spouses, stems from a desire to experience more from life than what is perceived to be available in a monogamous relationship. It implies that those who engage in polygamy may seek to fulfill various needs, such as emotional or physical, that they believe cannot be met by a single partner. The quote also implies a potential dissatisfaction with the limitations or constraints of a conventional monogamous relationship, prompting the pursuit of additional partners to attain a fuller or more enriching life experience.
