Manhood

Famous quotes containing the word manhood:

    Happy is that mother whose ability to help her children continues on from babyhood and manhood into maturity. Blessed is the son who need not leave his mother at the threshold of the world’s activities, but may always and everywhere have her blessing and her help. Thrice blessed are the son and the mother between whom there exists an association not only physical and affectional, but spiritual and intellectual, and broad and wise as is the scope of each being.
    Lydia Hoyt Farmer (1842–1903)

    Only when manhood is dead—and it will perish when ravaged femininity no longer sustains it—only then will we know what it is to be free.
    Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)

    I yielded, and unlocked her all my heart,
    Who with a grain of manhood well resolved
    Might easily have shook off all her snares;
    But foul effeminacy held me yoked
    Her bondslave.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
