I'm not happy when I'm writing, but I'm more unhappy when I'm not.

A woman is not a whole woman without the experience of marriage. In the case of a bad marriage you win if you lose. Of the two alternatives - bad marriage or none - I believe bad marriage would be better. It is a bitter experience and a high price to pay for fulfillment but it is the better alternative.
