Manned Quotes (page 139)

There's nothing to stop a man from writing unless that manstops himself. If a man truly desires to write, then he will. Rejection and ridicule will only strengthen him. And the longerhe is held back the stronger he will become, like a mass of risingwater against a dam. There is no losing in writing, it will make your toes laughas you sleep, it will make you stride like a tiger, it will firethe eye and put you face to face with death. You will die a fighter, you will be honored in hell. The... Charles Bukowski

A man with a club [bat] is a law-maker, a man to be obeyed, but not necessarily conciliated. Jack London
J. Michael Straczynski quote: "It is not for the gods to decide whether or not Man exists -..."
It is not for the gods to decide whether or not Man exists - it is for Man to decide whether or not the gods exist. J. Michael Straczynski
Yossarian was cold, too, and shivering uncontrollably. He felt goose pimples clacking all over him as he gazed down despondently at the grim secret Snowden had spilled all over the messy floor. It was easy to read the message in his entrails. Man was matter, that was Snowden's secret. Drop him out a window and he'll fall. Set fire to him and he'll burn. Bury him and he'll rot, like other kinds of garbage. The spirit gone, man is garbage. That was Snowden's secret. Ripeness was all. I'm cold,'... Joseph Heller
H. L. Mencken quote: "It is the dull man who is always sure, and the sure man who is..."
It is the dull man who is always sure, and the sure man who is always dull. H. L. Mencken
Jose Ortega y Gasset quote: "The poet begins where the man ends. The man's lot is to live..."
The poet begins where the man ends. The man's lot is to live his human life, the poet's to invent what is nonexistent. Jose Ortega y Gasset
This pleased Onyango, for to him knowledge was the source of all the white man's power, and he wanted to make sure that his son was as educated as any white man. Barack Obama
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified."
Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified. Gilbert K. Chesterton
In the same way a Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble--because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ Himself carried out." - Mere Christianity C. S. Lewis
He slept like an animal, well and lightly, faced in the opposite direction from that of a man; for a man going to sleep is about to escape into it while animals are prepared to escape out of it. Theodore Sturgeon
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "One man’s “magic” is another man’s engineering. “Supernatural”..."
One man’s “magic” is another man’s engineering. “Supernatural” is a null word. Robert A. Heinlein
Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man's best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why, in the gratification of curiosities so feeble that the man is only half aware of them, in drumming of fingers and kicking of heels, in whistling tunes that he does not like, or in the long, dim labyrinth of reveries that have not even lust or ambition to give them a relish, but which, once chance association has started them,... C. S. Lewis
Many women to whom I have preached the doctrine of freedom have weakly replied, 'But who is to support the children?' It seems to me that if the marriage ceremony is needed as a protection to insure the enforced support of children, then you are marrying a man who, you suspect, would under certain conditions, refuse to support his children, and it is a pretty low-down proposition. For you are marrying a man whom you already suspect of being a villain. But I have not so poor an opinion of men... Isadora Duncan
It is hard to see how a great man can be an atheist. Without the sustaining influence of faith in a divine power we could have little faith in ourselves. We need to feel that behind us is intelligence and love. Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute; cynics do not create. Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally important, and that his work, well done, is a part of an unending plan. Calvin Coolidge
Milan Kundera quote: "The longing for Paradise is man's longing not to be man."
The longing for Paradise is man's longing not to be man. Milan Kundera
