George EliotI would rather not be engaged. When people are engaged, they begin to think of being married soon, and I should like everything to go on for a long while just as it is.
About This Quote
Who doesn’t want to be engaged? The idea of being engaged may seem like a dream come true, but it can be a nightmare. If you think about it, being engaged means that a person is committed to someone else. That person is going to be your forever now. One small thing can make or break a relationship.
And, if you are worried about one thing, you will probably do anything to change it. This quote from the play, "The Importance of Being Earnest," by Oscar Wilde shows how taking one step at a time can lead to a wonderful life. The idea that there are many steps in getting to the end of a relationship is something that most people forget.
As the quote indicates, the journey is what’s important and not getting there by a certain date.
