“Never, never marry, my friend. Here’s my advice to you: don’t marry until you can tell yourself that you’ve done all you could, and until you’ve stopped loving the woman you’ve chosen, until you see her clearly, otherwise you’ll be cruelly and irremediably mistaken. Marry when you’re old and good for nothing…Otherwise all that’s good and lofty in you will be lost.”
―Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace
Poor Tolstoy must have had a bad marriage. Follow this advice and you lose one of the greatest and most ennobling joys of old age: the company of your grandchildren.
