Best Quotes about 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.

Hwang, Brian

I'm not the man to balk at a low smell, I not the man to insist on asphodel. This sounds like a He-fellow, don't you think? It sounds like that. I belch, I bawl, I drink.

Sitwell, Dame Edith

There's so much saint in the worst of them, and so much devil in the best of them, that a woman who's married to one of them, has nothing to learn of the rest of them.

Rowland, Helen

I go for two kinds of men. The kind with muscles, and the kind without.

West, Mae

What God wants are men great enough to be small enough to be used.

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 this reason you should never stand behind one in the line at the Red Cross donor clinic.

Atwood, Margaret

The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo.

Some men demand rough treatment everywhere!

Hall, S. C.

12.

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.

Anouilh, Jean

13.

It is a man's world, and you men can have it.

Porter, Katherine Anne

14.

All men are two meters tall... give or take a meter.

15.

Don't accept rides from strange men, and remember that all men are as strange as hell.

Morgan, Robin

16.

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

Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

17.

The most unhappy and frail creatures are men and yet they are the proudest.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

18.

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.

Mcginley, Phyllis

19.

Men aren't the way they are because they want to drive women crazy; they've been trained to be that way for thousands of years. And that training makes it very difficult for men to be intimate.

Angelis, Barbara De

20.

I love the male body, it's better designed than the male mind.

Newman, Andrea

21.

There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain.

Plato

22.

All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.

Greer, Germaine

23.

Man is not the enemy here, but the fellow victim.

Friedan, Betty

24.

I only like two kinds of men; domestic and foreign.

West, Mae

25.

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.

Baldwin, Faith

26.

No man flatters the woman he truly loves.

Tuckerman

27.

Men are like sheep, of which a flock is more easily driven than a single one.

Whately, Richard

28.

The intimate revelations of young men, or at least the terms in which they express them, are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions.

Fitzgerald, F. Scott

29.

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.

Paglia, Camille

30.

Men dream of courtship, but in wedlock wake.

Pope, Alexander

31.

Men are the dreams of a shadow.

Pindar

32.

There are three classes of men; the retrograde, the stationary and the progressive.

Lavater, Johann Kaspar

33.

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 for his children?

Figes, Eva

34.

It is easier to know men in general, than men in particular.

La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

35.

Men are nicotine soaked, beer besmirched, whiskey greased, red-eyed devils.

Nation, Carry

36.

Men were only made into men with great difficulty even in primitive society: the male is not naturally a man any more than the woman. He has to be propped up into that position with some ingenuity, and is always likely to collapse.

Lewis, Wyndham

37.

Silent men like still waters, are deep and dangerous.

Proverb

38.

Men are happy to be laughed at for their humor, but not for their folly.

Swift, Jonathan

39.

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.

Gilder, George

40.

It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son.

Stein, Gertrude

41.

I require three things in a man. He must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid.

Parker, Dorothy

42.

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.

Ehrenreich, Barbara

43.

There must be some reason why a man must be convinced, while a woman must be persuaded.

Fleming, Robert B.

44.

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.

Miedzian, Myriam

45.

Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor.

Mailer, Norman

46.

The test of man is how well he is able to feel about what he thinks. The test of a woman is how well she is able to think about what she feels.

Mcdowell, Mary

47.

The world men inhabit is rather bleak. It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else.

Ford, Anna

48.

A hairy body, and arms stiff with bristles, give promise of a manly soul.

Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

49.

The tragedy of machismo is that a man is never quite man enough.

Greer, Germaine

50.

Prudent men woo thrifty women.

Proverb, German
