"I dont believe in marriage. No, I really dont. Let me be clear about that. I think at worst its a hostile political act, a way for small-minded men to keep women in the house and out of the way, wrapped up in the guise of tradition and conservative religious nonsense. At best, its a happy delusion - these two people who truly love each other and have no idea how truly miserable theyre about to make each other. But, but, when two people know that, and they decide with eyes wide open to face each other and get married anyway, then I dont think its conservative or delusional. I think its radical and courageous and very romantic."

-Johnathan Safran Foer-
