Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert

What I think is amazing is not that 85% of people who get married under the age of 25 get divorced, it's that 15% of them stay together. How did they manage to pull that off? You almost can't wait too long. It's the single simplest measure to predict divorce.

Summary

This quote highlights the surprising fact that a majority of individuals who marry before the age of 25 end up getting divorced. Instead of focusing on this high divorce rate, the quote marvels at the 15% who manage to maintain a lasting marriage despite marrying at a young age. The quote suggests that marrying at a younger age increases the likelihood of divorce and implies that waiting longer before marriage is the simplest way to predict and potentially prevent divorce.

Culture is the name for what people are interested in, their thoughts, their models, the books they read and the speeches they hear, their table-talk, gossip, controversies, historical sense and scientific training, the values they appreciate, the quality of life they admire. All communities have a culture. It is the climate of their civilization.

If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.
