About This Quote

In William Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet', Prince Escalus said “I have discovered," he said to Charles Dewy, "that when a man marries, peace of mind and freedom go out of the window". I have also discovered that when a man marries, peace of mind and freedom go out of the window. That's the price we have to pay for having company in our old age and for ensuring that we have heirs to follow us.
