Man Quotes (page 551)

Every man ought to be inquisitive through every hour of his great adventure down to the day when he shall no longer cast a shadow in the sun... Frank Moore Colby

Counsel involving right and wrong should never be sought from a man who does not say his prayers. Fulton J. Sheen
The severe and at times almost condemning glance - a glance that seems to pass judgment - with which the homosexual appraises every good-looking young man he may encounter, is in reality a quick but intense meditation on his own loneliness Jean Genet
There's no one with intelligence in this town except that man over there playing with the children, the one riding the stick horse. He has keen, fiery insight and vast dignity like the night sky, but he conceals it in the madness of child's play. Rumi
William James quote: "a man does not cry because he is sad, he is sad because he cries"
a man does not cry because he is sad, he is sad because he cries William James
Far back in the mists of ancient time, in the great and glorious days of the former Galactic Empire, life was wild, rich and largely tax free. Mighty starships plied their way between exotic suns, seeking adventure and reward among the furthest reaches of Galactic space. In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. And all dared to brave... Douglas Adams
Las Vegas has become a child's picture-book dream of a city-here a storybook castle, there a sphinx-flanked black pyramid beaming white light into the darkness as a landing beam for UFOs, and everywhere neon oracles and twisting screens predict happiness and good fortune, announce singers and comedians and magicians in residence or on their way, and the lights always flash and beckon and call. Once every hour a volcano erupts in light and flame. Once every hour a pirate ship sinks a man o'war. Neil Gaiman
George R. R. Martin quote: "I knew a man once who told me that I smiled at the wrong..."
I knew a man once who told me that I smiled at the wrong things."Do you?"Only by the light of those who smile at nothing. George R. R. Martin
Men sometimes speak as if the study of the classics would at length make way for more modern and practical studies; but the adventurous student will always study classics, in whatever language they may be written and however ancient they may be. For what are the classics but the noblest recorded thoughts of man? We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old. Henry David Thoreau
Matt Groening quote: "I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please..."
I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me, Superman.Homer Simpson Matt Groening
And I saw then again, and for good, what I had always been afraid to see, and had pretended not to see in him: that he was a woman as well as a man. Any need to explain the sources of that fear vanished with the fear; what I was left with was, at last, acceptance of him as he was. Ursula K. Le Guin
Come, then, thou regenerate man, thou extravagant prodigal, thou awakened sleeper, thou all-powerful visionary, thou invincible millionaire,--once again review thy past life of starvation and wretchedness, revisit the scenes where fate and misfortune conducted, and where despair received thee. Too many diamonds, too much gold and splendor, are now reflected by the mirror in which Monte Cristo seeks to behold Dantes. Hide thy diamonds, bury thy gold, shroud thy splendor, exchange riches for... Alexander Dumas
After dinner they met again, to speak not of Byron but of manure. The other people were so clever and so amusing that it relieved her to listen to a man who told her three times not to buy artificial manure ready made, but, if she would use it, to make it herself at the last moment. Because the ammonia evaporated. Here were two packets of powder. E. M. Forster
Chuck Norris quote: "when the boogie man goes to sleep he checks his closet for me"
when the boogie man goes to sleep he checks his closet for me Chuck Norris
