Gaddafi tried to give a masterclass to men like the Syrian dictator, Bashar al-Assad, on how to crush a civilian uprising.
Gaiety is a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
Men hate the individual whom they call avaricious only because nothing can be gained from him.
The ideas gained by men before they are twenty-five are practically the only ideas they shall have in their lives.
The previous generation paved the way for my generation to gallop unheeded into jobs previously reserved for men.
It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not pay with their own.
How did females become 'guys?' How did everyone become 'guys?' Remember, too, that a male guy was something of a scoundrel. And a wise guy was a fresh kid, a whippersnapper. In its most other famous evocation, men in Brooklyn said 'youse guys.' Damon Runyon referred to hustlers, gamblers, and other nefarious types as guys.
And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that.
I like men who are very cool but who are also so brilliant that they are almost insane. Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits - men who would be flipping burgers if they hadn't found an outlet for their brilliant mind-sets.

This is a generalization, but I think women's brains are more accessible to ideas and differences. And they can accept stuff that's weirder. I think there are enough intelligent men out there who get it, but women will watch behavior that's different and process it better. In general, women are less threatened by their emotions.
At the end of the day, I feel like it's a mistake to generalize that all men are the same.
Unless generosity of spirit prevails among men, there can never be upon earth an ideal life.
There is nothing men are so generous of as advice.
Men continue to misinterpret the second-rate status of women as implying a privileged status for themselves; heterosexuals think the same way about homosexuals; gentiles about Jews; whites about blacks; haves about have-nots.
Men and women should stay apart, till their hearts grow gentle towards one another again.
Pure geometrical regularity gives a certain pleasure to men troubled by the obscurity of outside appearance. The geometrical line is something absolutely distinct from the messiness, the confusion, and the accidental details of existing things.
