"There are four stages to marriage. First there's the affair, then there's the marriage, then children, and finally the fourth stage, without which you cannot know a woman, the divorce."

(Norman Kingsley Mailer, pseudonimo di Nachem Malech Mailer, scrittore, giornalista e commediografo; Long Branch, 31 gennaio 1923 – New York, 10 novembre 2007)
