George R. R. Martin quote: "Only a man who's been burned knows what hell is truly like."
Only a man who's been burned knows what hell is truly like. George R. R. Martin
innocence is not safe in a civilization like ours, where a man must practice a 'ruled undemonstrative distrustfulness' in order to defend himself against traps. This 'ruled undemonstrative distrustfulness' is not confined to business men, but exists everywhere. We all exercise it. I know I do, and I should be surprised if you, who are listening to me, didn't. All we can do (and Melville gives us this hint) is to exercise it consciously, as Captain Vere did. It is unconscious distrustfulness... E. M. Forster
Any weapon touched by a woman, even by accident, must be cleansed with both water and prayer so that her essence would not linger, diverting the warrior who might use it next, for even the faintest touch could bring lust to that man's heart.

Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "This looks like one of those unwelcome social summonses which..."
This looks like one of those unwelcome social summonses which call upon a man either to be bored or to lie. Arthur Conan Doyle
Jules Verne quote: "I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants..."
I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new Jules Verne
The whole trouble lies in that people think that there are conditions excluding the necessity of love in their intercourse with man, but such conditions do not exist. Things may be treated without love; one may chop wood, make bricks, forge iron without love, but one can no more deal with people without love than one can handle bees without care. Leo Tolstoy
I comforted him as well as I could. In such cases men do not need much expression. A grip of the hand, the tightening of an arm over the shoulder, a sob in unison, are expressions of sympathy dear to a man's heart. Bram Stoker
Algernon Charles Swinburne quote: "A man is not an orange. You can't eat the fruit and throw the..."
A man is not an orange. You can't eat the fruit and throw the peel away. Algernon Charles Swinburne
Maybe there ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue, they's just what people does. Some things folks do is nice and some ain't so nice, and that's all any man's got a right to say. John Steinbeck
