"Well, marriage doesn't function in the way it……" — Jeffrey Eugenides

"Well, marriage doesn't function in the way it used to in terms of deciding our fate, but it's in our heads, and it determines a lot of our actions. Like, right now, if you think about gay marriage - and they just started having the first gay marriages in New York - it shows what a potent idea marriage remains for people."

— Jeffrey Eugenides
