Male Heir

Famous quotes containing the words male and/or heir:

“The male has been persuaded to assume a certain onerous and disagreeable rôle with the promise of rewards—material and psychological. Women may in the first place even have put it into his head. BE A MAN! may have been, metaphorically, what Eve uttered at the critical moment in the Garden of Eden.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

“Is it not strange, that an infant should be heir of the whole world, and see those mysteries which the books of the learned never unfold?”
