Click here for the handout and and here for the powerpoint presentation from today's class, where you'll hopefully be able to see that my quotations WERE numbered correctly once upon a time. If want only the quotations, here they are:1."A man is only as faithful as his opportunity." (Chris Rock)
2."Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract, and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences." (Isadora Duncan)
3."Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same." (Oscar Wilde)
4."I don't think it's the nature of any man to be monogamous. Men are propelled by genetically ordained impulses over which they have no control to distribute their seed." (Marlon Brando)
5."It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages." (Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche)
6."The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one." (Joan Baez)
7."When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of all the other men of her acquaintance for the inattention of just one." (Helen Rowland)
More of Oscar Wilde's epigrams are on this site and if you fancy listening to something both interesting an challenging, why not have a look at (or should that be listen to) Stephen Fry's podcast on Wilde here.
