Crates of Thebes | Epictetus, Discourses 3.22

<blockquote>'Yes, but Crates married.'

The case you mention was a special one and a love-match, and you have to assume a wife who was a Crates herself. Our inquiry is concerned with ordinary marriages which are liable to distraction; and from this point of view we do not find that in these circumstances marriage has a primary claim on the Cynic.
The Discourses of Epictetus, tr. by P.E Matheson, [1916]
