Marley Quotes

“Always forward. Never back.”
― Mikki Daughtry, All This Time

“Battle scars just remind us that we survived.”
― Shelly Crane, Smash Into You

“We now had three girls and one testosterone-pumped guy bird that spent every walking minute doing of of three things: pursuing sex, having sex or crowing boastfully about the sex he had just scored. Jenny observed that roosters are what men would be if left to their own devices, with no social conventions to rein in their baser instincts, and I couldn't disagree. I had to admit, I kind of admired the lucky bastard.”
― John Grogan, Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World’s Worst Dog

"Just you (Cam) I think, mate.”
― Lesley Jones, Marley

“I think her and Cam work because he’s never tried to do that. Their love is different, much easier to be around, where George and Maca’s love was intense, bordering on obsessive. It was like they needed each other more than air. I don’t know how to describe it, really, but that’s how it came across as an outsider looking in.”
― Lesley Jones, Marley

“Scrooge is no Marley, and Marley is no Scrooge, and their partnership is the better for it.”
― Jon Clinch

― Jon Clinch, Marley

“It is required of every man... that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow men, and travel far and wide; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death... It is doomed to wander through the world... and witness what it cannot share, but might have shared on earth, and turned to happiness.”
― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
