Ian Fleming on marriage

Men want a woman whom they can turn on and off like a light switch.

Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make bored.

Never say ‘no’ to adventures. Always say ‘yes’, otherwise you’ll lead a very dull life.

Love at first sight is easy to understand; it’s when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.

Basically my wife was immature. I’d be at home in my bath and she’d come in and sink my boats.

My advice to you is to get married. If you find a good wife you’ll be happy; if not you’ll become a philosopher.
