Kurt Vonnegut Jr.What made marriage so difficult back then was yet again that instigator of so many other sorts of heartbreak: the oversize brain.
About This Quote
Marriage was a hard thing to do then because the world was a smaller place. People were not as well-traveled as they are now, and life was more simple. It wasn’t easy for young couples to find their way around. Then there were the large brains of the young people, which could easily break off into oversize brains. Without the help of instant communication, it would have been difficult for them to know where to go or what to do.
