Quotation by Marie Corelli "I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon and a cat that comes home late at night." Marie Corelli was a British novelist in the late 1800's and early 1900's publishing her first novel, "A Romance of Two Worlds", in 1866. Her works were collected by members of the British Royal Family, and by Winston and Randolph Churchill. A strong and humorous statement for those not lining up to get married or the newly divorced, separated or those going through a split up. Add some humor to your and your friends lives.
