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

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. (Acton John)

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. (Acton John)
In the United States adherence to the values of the masculine mystique makes intimate, self-revealing, deep friendships between men unusual. (Acton John)
A man that is ashamed of passions that are natural and reasonable is generally proud of those that are shameful and silly. (Acton John)
It is much more easy to accuse the one sex than to excuse the other. (Acton John)
The most unhappy and frail creatures are men and yet they are the proudest. (Acton John)
Men are nicotine soaked, beer besmirched, whiskey greased, red-eyed devils. (Acton John)
The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything. (Acton John)
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. (Acton John)
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. (Acton John)
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. (Acton John)
I require three things in a man. He must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid. (Acton John)
Men are the dreams of a shadow. (Acton John)
There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain. (Acton John)
Men dream of courtship, but in wedlock wake. (Acton John)
He may have hair upon his chest but, sister, so has Lassie. (Acton John)
Silent men like still waters, are deep and dangerous. (Acton John)
Prudent men woo thrifty women. (Acton John)
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. (Acton John)
There are only two kinds of men; the dead and the deadly. (Acton John)
