Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible.
Genius is present in every age, but the men carrying it within them remain benumbed unless extraordinary events occur to heat up and melt the mass so that it flows forth.
Most men, no matter how well or badly dressed, carry overstuffed, beat up wallets that should have been replaced years ago. Why is that? Every time I see a guy take out a wallet anywhere, it looks like a piece of old melted chocolate cake-with strings.
The no-secrets era of social media makes one consider the built-in risk factor of nominating high-testosterone men to positions of power at all. Everyone is under too much scrutiny now to take a chance on candidates who suddenly blow up into a comic meme, a punchline, a ribald hashtag.
Men's memoirs are about answers; women's memoirs are about questions. Most male authors want to look good in their memoirs and have a place in posterity, while most women know that posterity is what happens when you no longer care. Women want to connect with others here and now; they couldn't care less about legacy!
The phenomenal thing that happened to me is that I was able to create two memorable men: one is the ultimate optimist, Rocky, and then you have Rambo, the ultimate pessimist. You're going to always be remembered for them, no matter what you do.
For famous men have the whole earth as their memorial.
The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.
On Earth, men and women are taking the same risks. Why shouldn't we be taking the same risks in space?
There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.
For years, I've been painting black men as a way to respond to the reality of the streets. I've asked black men to show up in my studio in the clothes that they want to be wearing. And often times, those clothes would be the same trappings people would see on television and find menacing.
Other people get moody in their forties and fifties - men get the male menopause. I missed the whole thing. I was just really happy.
Women know when they've got the menopause but men don't quite know. They know it afterwards.
Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.
The path to diversity begins with supporting, mentoring, and sponsoring diverse women and men to become leaders and entrepreneurs.
God seeth different abilities and frailties of men, which may move His goodness to be merciful to their different improvements in virtue.
Until the men of action clear out the talkers we who have social consciences are at the mercy of those who have none.
Damn the great executives, the men of measured merriment, damn the men with careful smiles oh, damn their measured merriment.
Part of what's mesmerizing about 'The Mechanics of History' is its physical eloquence - how dancerly it is. The men don't fall; they float. And when the trampoline restores them to the staircase, they move at a half speed. Cinema, they say, is 24 frames per second.
Gay men can sometimes feel ashamed or chastised when the messaging is 'Be out and proud!' or 'Just come out.' It's not that easy. It certainly wasn't for me.
