Quote by Andre Maurois

A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.

A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt eve

Summary

This quote suggests that a successful marriage is not something that can be achieved and then simply maintained without effort. Instead, it requires deliberate and continuous effort to keep it strong and thriving. Like an edifice that needs ongoing maintenance, a marriage also requires daily attention, care, and commitment from both partners. It emphasizes that the work put into a marriage is not a one-time event, but rather a constant process of rebuilding, strengthening, and nurturing the relationship.

My own image of my work is that I no sooner settle into something than a break occurs. These breaks are always painful and depressing but despite them I see that there's a consistency that holds out, but is hard to define.

The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs, the final battleground of the American dream, where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves. It's very romantic in that way, but a bit naive. I like to play with that in my work.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;who has left the world better than he found it whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;whose life was an inspiration;whose memory a benediction.http://www.rwe.org/pages/in_pursuit_of_the_truth_of_Success.htm
