Fulton J. Sheen Quote

To marry someone with the idea of possessing him or her is to rob that person of the precious endowment of liberty. If that other person is mine, like a cocktail, then he or she can never make a present of himself or herself. What I possess I can no longer receive as a gift. You cannot receive a gift of ten dollars if you already have it in your pocket and you own it.
