Best Quotes about Men

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

Solanis, Valerie

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

Lavater, Johann Kaspar

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

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

West, Mae

Macho doesn't prove mucho.

Gabor, Zsa Zsa

You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise they're simply unbearable.

Duras, Marguerite

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

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

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

10.

Silent men like still waters, are deep and dangerous.

Proverb

11.

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

Plato

12.

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

13.

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

14.

Bloody men are like bloody buses -- you wait for about a year and as soon as one approaches your stop two or three others appear.

Cope, Wendy

15.

The little man is still a man.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

16.

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

Bernikow, Louise

17.

There is hardly an American male of my generation who has not at one time or another tried to master the victory cry of the great ape as it issued from the androgynous chest of Johnny Weissmuller, to the accompaniment of thousands of arms and legs snapping during attempts to swing from tree to tree in the backyards of the Republic.

Vidal, Gore

18.

Prudent men woo thrifty women.

Proverb, German

19.

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

20.

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

Garfield, James A.

21.

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

22.

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

23.

Someone has to stand up for wimps.

Ehrenreich, Barbara

24.

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

25.

Not only is it harder to be a man, it is also harder to become one.

Stassinopoulos, Arianna

26.

Next to the striking of fire and the discovery of the wheel, the greatest triumph of what we call civilization was the domestication of the human male.

Lerner, Max

27.

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

Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

28.

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 be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That's all there is to it.

Gable, Clark

29.

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

Nietzsche, Friedrich

30.

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.

Oakley, Ann

31.

If it's true that men are such beasts, this must account for the fact that most women are animal lovers.

Day, Doris

32.

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

Fleming, Robert B.

There are only two kinds of men; the dead and the deadly.

He may have hair upon his chest but, sister, so has Lassie.

Porter, Cole

38.

Men are creatures with eight hands.

Mansfield, Jane

39.

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

Friedan, Betty

40.

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

41.

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

Mailer, Norman

42.

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

43.

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

Whately, Richard

44.

In the United States adherence to the values of the masculine mystique makes intimate, self-revealing, deep friendships between men unusual.

Miedzian, Myriam

45.

Since I am a man, my heart is three or four times less sensitive, because I have three or four times as much power of reason and experience of the world -- a thing which you women call hard-heartedness. As a man, I can take refuge in having mistresses. The more of them I have, and the greater the scandal, the more I acquire reputation and brilliance in society.

Stendhal, Henri B.

46.

Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

48.

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

49.

No man flatters the woman he truly loves.

Tuckerman
