About this Quote

This quote by Catherine Deneuve recommends that she does not believe in the institution of marriage. She thinks that marital relationship is not necessary when there is the alternative of divorce. This could be translated as her questioning the need for marital relationship when it can be so quickly dissolved. She might be suggesting that marriage is not an essential commitment which it is not worth the effort when it can be so quickly reversed. This could be viewed as a reflection of her own individual views on marriage, or it could be a commentary on the state of marriage in society. In either case, it is clear that she does not think that marriage is needed or helpful.
