Marriage Quote by Jason Rennie
““I’ve never shared this with anyone, but in my heart of hearts, I don’t approve of human- object marriages. I think that all of the parties to a marriage ought to be sentient beings. I know that this is a controversial position to take, and since I’m a lawyer who might someday apply for a judicial position, I have never voiced it to anyone, but it seems to me that marriage ought to be a two way-relationship between…I don’t know….real people. On””
