Man/masculinity

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or masculinity:

“Nothing can rightly compel a simple and brave man to a vulgar sadness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“For a boy to reach adulthood feeling that he knows his father, his father must allow his emotions to be visible—hardly an easy task when most males grow up being either subtly or openly taught that this is not acceptable behavior. A father must teach his son that masculinity and feelings can go hand in hand.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
