Poor little men, poor little cocks! As soon as they're old enough, they swell their plumage to be conquerors. If they only knew that it's enough to be just a little bit wounded and sad in order to obtain everything without fighting for it.
Jean Anouilh in MEN

Men are not to be told anything they might find too painful; the secret depths of human nature, the sordid physicalities, might overwhelm or damage them. For instance, men often faint at the sight of their own blood, to which they are not accustomed. For
Margaret Atwood in MEN

Left to itself the masculine imagination has very little appreciation for the here and now; it prefers to dwell on what is absent, on what has been or may be. If men are more punctual than women, it is because they know that, without the external discipl
W. H. Auden in MEN

The masculine imagination lives in a state of perpetual revolt against the limitations of human life. In theological terms, one might say that all men, left to themselves, become gnostics. They may swagger like peacocks, but in their heart of hearts they
W. H. Auden in MEN

Men's private self-worlds are rather like our geographical world's seasons, storm, and sun, deserts, oases, mountains and abysses, the endless-seeming plateaus, darkness and light, and always the sowing and the reaping.

Sir James M. Barrie in MEN

The question arises as to whether it is possible not to live in the world of men and still to live in the world.
Louise Bernikow in MEN

The man, most man, works best for men: and, if most man indeed, he gets his manhood plainest from his soul.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning in MEN

Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache.
Gilbert K. Chesterton in MEN

Because it is in the nature of things that they become extreme, we have passed down from manliness to cruelty. If I had been told when I was 20 that there was a tavern in the town where the brave and the cruel were gathered together, I would have run all
Quentin Crisp in MEN

Before they're plumbers or writers or taxi drivers or unemployed or journalists, before everything else, men are men. Whether heterosexual or homosexual. The only difference is that some of them remind you of it as soon as you meet them, and others wait
Marguerite Duras in MEN

In this society, the norm of masculinity is phallic aggression. Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride
Andrea Dworkin in MEN

Considering the absence of legal coercion, the surprising thing is that men have for so long, and, on the whole, so reliably, adhered to what we might call the ''breadwinner ethic.''
Barbara Ehrenreich in MEN

Men's men: gentle or simple, they're much of a muchness.
George Eliot in MEN

Men are what their mothers made them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson in MEN

Men cease to interest us when we find their limitations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson in MEN

Providing for one's family as a good husband and father is a water-tight excuse for making money hand over fist. Greed may be a sin, exploitation of other people might, on the face of it, look rather nasty, but who can blame a man for ''doing the best''

Anna Ford in MEN

The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He's got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won't

Zsa Zsa Gabor in MEN

I mean to make myself a man, and if I succeed in that, I shall succeed in everything else.
James A. Garfield in MEN

Unlike femininity, relaxed masculinity is at bottom empty, a limp nullity. While the female body is full of internal potentiality, the male is internally barren. Manhood at the most basic level can be validated and expressed only in action.
George Gilder in MEN

The little man is still a man.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe in MEN

When a man is wrong and won't admit it, he always gets angry.
Thomas C. Haliburton in MEN

Some men demand rough treatment everywhere!
S. C. Hall in MEN

A man is in love when something in his head, something in his and chest and something in his pants react to a certain woman.
