Famous quotes containing the words male and/or recipient:
“The male has been persuaded to assume a certain onerous and disagreeable rôle with the promise of rewards—material and psychological. Women may in the first place even have put it into his head. BE A MAN! may have been, metaphorically, what Eve uttered at the critical moment in the Garden of Eden.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“He who bestows something great receives no gratitude; for in accepting it the recipient has already been weighed down too much.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
