The Enemy wants to bring the man to a state of mind in which he could design the best cathedral in the world, and know it to be the best, and rejoice in the fact, without being any more (or less) or otherwise glad at having done it than he would be if it had been done by another.

A young woman, if she fall into bad gands, may be teazed, and kept at a distance from those she wants to be with; but one cannot comprehend a young man's being under such restraint, as not to be able to spend a week with his father, if he likes it. Jane Austen

The philosophy behind much advertising is based on the old observation that every man is really two men - the man he is and the man he wants to be. William Feather
I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife. So when I'm home, I work very hard to be Todd's wife and Jade's mother. I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada, the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with. Giada De Laurentiis

I think a man is a man, and a man has a hairy chest, so let that be! Yvonne Strahovski
We need to ditch the idea that there is any value in the strong and silent man being in any way attractive. Being silent isn't being strong, it's being a victim. Jane Powell
I like to be bought flowers and taken out for dinner. I like a man to be a gentleman. I don't like to be treated as if I am brainless. I like to be respected and to give respect. Sharon Stone

I would rather be beaten, and be a man, than to be elected and be a little puppy dog. Davy Crockett
No man can be a politician, except he be first a historian or a traveller; for except he can see what must be, or what may be, he is no politician. James Harrington
Certain people are like 'Oh, here come the Feminazis!' You end up acting 10 times nicer than you even need to be, to be the opposite of the stereotype like 'You're the man haters!' We're always bending over backwards being extra nice. And I don't know if being nice is my legacy. Kathleen Hanna
Patti Smith quote: "Everyone thinks of God as a man - you can't help it - Santa..."
