Quintessential Quote For Today
From Shakespeare's Othello:
Desdemona had to choose between father ( Brabantino ) and husband to be the dark skinned Moor, Othello.
Barabantino:
Come hither, gentle mistress:
Where most you owe obedience?
Desdemona:
My noble father,
I do perceive here a divided duty:
To you I am bound for life and education;
My life and education both to learn me
How to respect you; you are the lord of duty,
I am hitherto your daughter: but here's my husband,
And so mucch duty as my mother show'd
To you, preferring you before her father,
So much I challenge that I may profess
Due to the Moor my lord.
