Prerogatives

Famous quotes containing the word prerogatives:

    Every married man is in danger of being cuckolded. Cuckoldry is naturally one of the prerogatives of marriage.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    I could be, I discovered, by turns stern, loving, wise, silly, youthful, aged, racial, universal, indulgent, strict, with a remarkably easy and often cunning detachment ... various ways that an adult, spurred by guilt, by annoyance, by condescension, by loneliness, deals with the prerogatives of power and love.
    Gerald Early (20th century)
