Choices Quote by Franz Grillparzer

“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.” quote by Franz Grillparzer — Download Open image
