― Or, as my grandmother once put it to my mother: ‘Your father would be a wonderful man, if only he were different.
― Ha
― Yes, ha. A whole epic of pain and suffering reduced to a single sentence.
― Matrimony as a swamp, as a lifelong exercise in self-delusion.

We never know anything about anyone. I used to think the same think about your marriage, and look what happened to you and Delia. It’s hard enough keeping track of ourselves. Once it comes to other people, we don’t have a clue.
✖ Via Leviathan by Paul Auster, New York: Penguin Books, 1992, p. 107

It reminds me of a line of dialogue in Alain Resnais’ Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959) (I’ll quote from memory):

On croit savoir, et puis non, jamais.

People put so much effort into starting relationship and so little effort into ending one.

✖ Via Modern Mechanix: “Are You Giving Your Wife The Companionship She Craves?” (Inside Story, Jan. 1960

“YOU may be giving your wife all the love and care you are able to. You may have given her a good home, security, many of the conveniences all women yearn for. But is she completely satisfied? Are you giving her what she most expected on the day that you married her? Are you giving her the full companionship of the man she loves?

Or are you always “too tired” at the end of a day’s work? Do you come home from work with only the “leftovers” of your energy for your wife and family? Is time catching up with you too fast… at work, at play?” (read more).

✖ Via TopShelfComix / Be A Man, by Jeffrey Brown, p. 3

“Jeffrey Brown’s own self-parody of his “ultra-sensitive” graphic novel, Clumsy. A heaping of in-your-face male chauvinism, over-the-top machismo, and self-involved gratification. For all those jerks who complained that Jeffrey Brown was a sissy, finally you can see him “Be a man!” — 32 pages” (TopShelfComix)

“Jeffrey Brown (born 1975) is a comic book writer and artist born in Grand Rapids, Michigan.” (Wikipedia). Check his blog and visit his official website : jeffreybrowncomics.com
