Marriage

"The light-headed young people who get married think that marrying someone is like buying something in a shop. For example, we see a walking stick in the window, we like it, - we buy it. Then it's ours. We walk around with it, spin it around, tuck it under our arm or wave it around. We get bored, we lean it in the corner, - we put it away for tomorrow. But the nice young people are amazed when they see that it is not they who walk and spin and whirl the walking stick, but the other way round. And they don't put it in the corner, they themselves are placed there."
