Manhood

Famous quotes containing the word manhood:

“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)

“Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle; Old Age a regret.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

“A woman simply is, but a man must become. Masculinity is risky and elusive. It is achieved by a revolt from woman, and it is confirmed only by other men.... Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
