Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or begins:
“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)
“Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
