Quotes about men

|
The male sex still constitute in many ways the most obstinate vested interest one can find. (Augustus )
Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor. (Augustus )
Men are creatures with eight hands. (Augustus )

Sometimes I have a notion that what might improve the situation is to have women take over the occupations of government and trade and to give men their freedom. Let them do what they are best at. While we scrawl interoffice memos and direct national or extranational affairs, men could spend all their time inventing wheels, peering at stars, composing poems, carving statues, exploring continents -- discovering, reforming, or crying out in a sacramental wilderness. Efficiency would probably increase, and no one would have to worry so much about the Gaza Strip or an election. (Augustus )

As long as male behavior is taken to be the norm, there can be no serious questioning of male traits and behavior. A norm is by definition a standard for judging; it is not itself subject to judgment. (Augustus )
In the United States adherence to the values of the masculine mystique makes intimate, self-revealing, deep friendships between men unusual. (Augustus )
A man that is ashamed of passions that are natural and reasonable is generally proud of those that are shameful and silly. (Augustus )
It is much more easy to accuse the one sex than to excuse the other. (Augustus )
The most unhappy and frail creatures are men and yet they are the proudest. (Augustus )
Men are nicotine soaked, beer besmirched, whiskey greased, red-eyed devils. (Augustus )
The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything. (Augustus )
Men are the enemies of women. Promising sublime intimacy, unequalled passion, amazing security and grace, they nevertheless exploit and injure in a myriad subtle ways. Without men the world would be a better place: softer, kinder, more loving; calmer, quieter, more humane. (Augustus )
A woman simply is, but a man must become. Masculinity is risky and elusive. It is achieved by a revolt from woman, and it is confirmed only by other men. Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all. (Augustus )
Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction, craving and despising, never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy. (Augustus )
I require three things in a man. He must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid. (Augustus )
Men are the dreams of a shadow. (Augustus )
There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain. (Augustus )
Men dream of courtship, but in wedlock wake. (Augustus )
He may have hair upon his chest but, sister, so has Lassie. (Augustus )
Silent men like still waters, are deep and dangerous. (Augustus )
Prudent men woo thrifty women. (Augustus )
Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger. (Augustus )
There are only two kinds of men; the dead and the deadly. (Augustus )
