“The prince exults whomever he selects as his consort, but the queen, rather than elevating the subject of her choice, humiliates him as a man. By all that is right, a man is not intended to be the husband of his wife, but a woman is to be her husband’s wife.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Fact I know; and Law I know; but what is this Necessity, save an empty shadow of my own mind’s throwing?”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
