Man Quotes (page 457)

To live is not to breathe but to act. It is to make use of our organs, our senses, our faculties, of all the parts of ourselves which give us the sentiment of our existence. The man who has lived the most is not he who has counted the most years but he who has most felt life. Jean-Jacques Rousseau

I had never thought I had much in common with anybody. I had no mother, no father, no roots, no biological similarities called sisters and brothers. And for a future I didn't want a split-level home with a station wagon, pastel refrigerator, and a houseful of blonde children evenly spaced through the years. I didn't want to walk into the pages of McCall's magazine and become the model housewife. I didn't even want a husband or any man for that matter. I wanted to go my own way. That's all I... Rita Mae Brown

Ozzy Osbourne quote: "I was a free man, and I’d survived prison without being arse..."
I was a free man, and I’d survived prison without being arse raped or beaten to a pulp. So how come I felt so f**king sad? Ozzy Osbourne
Few things are more difficult in this world for a young man than the securing of an introduction to the right girl under just the right conditions. When he is looking his best he is presented to her in the midst of a crowd, and is swept away after a rapid hand-shake. When there is no crowd he has toothache, or the sun has just begun to make his nose peel. Thousands of young lives have been saddened in this manner. P. G. Wodehouse
Homer quote: "There is nothing alive more agonized than man / of all that..."
There is nothing alive more agonized than man / of all that breathe and crawl across the earth. Homer
His bit of pencil turned up in the seat pocket of his short trousers, but as the search for the pad continued without issue a crease appeared in the boy's domed brow. He patted himself up and down until filaments of honey floss formed between his fingertips and pockets, coating him in a gossamer down. The old man watched helpless as the boy, with mounting agitation, spun threads of loss from his palms and fingertips. Michael Chabon
You can do one thing or you can do another, kill a man or take a tire off his car, because sooner or later you're going to forget what it was you done and just be punished for it. Flannery O'Connor
I conceive that the right way to write a story for boys is to write so that it will not only interest boys but strongly interest any man who has ever been a boy. That immensely enlarges the audience. Mark Twain
Nikolai Gogol quote: "However stupid a fools words may be, they are sometimes enough..."
However stupid a fools words may be, they are sometimes enough to confound an intelligent man. Nikolai Gogol
a wise woman puts a grain of sugar in everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her. Helen Rowland

I am not a man, i am a walking dynamite Friedrich Nietzsche
General, your tank is a powerful vehicle. It smashes down forests and crushes a hundred men. But it has one defect: It needs a driver. General, your bomber is powerful. It flies faster than a storm and carries more than an elephant. But it has one defect: It needs a mechanic. General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think. Bertolt Brecht
