There aren't a lot of opportunities for that rite of passage that makes you a man. War is one of them, and violent sports are another.

American - Actor
Born: July 6, 1946

The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.

Pete Townshend

He's a very nice man and all that, easy to get along with, fun, he never makes me cry. But is that love? I mean, is that all there is to it? Even when you learned to ride your two-wheeler, you had to fall off a few times and scrape both knees. Call it a rite of passage. And that was just a little thing.

Stephen King

War is hell, but that's not the half of it, because war is also mystery and terror and adventure and courage and discovery and holiness and pity and despair and longing and love. War is nasty; war is fun. War is thrilling; war is drudgery. War makes you a man; war makes you dead.

Tim O'Brien

I mean, why do people fight over sports? Because of the framework, the schematic of sports, those particular people seize upon these opportunities to be violent. And the number one problem using the same framework would be religion.

Ian MacKaye

Cinema was my rite of passage.

John Singleton

It's a rite of passage for the everyman, to a higher ground.

Death is the least civilized rite of passage.

Louise Erdrich

Sometimes I feel that 'Footloose' is the rite of passage.

Craig Brewer

Sustained exhaustion is not a rite of passage. It's a mark of stupidity.

Jason Fried

Getting a tattoo should hurt. It's a rite of passage.

Jenna Jameson

Rejections are painful, but inevitable. They're every writer's rite of passage.

Octavia Butler

Changing my name has been like a formal rite of passage.

Anohni

My rite of passage into my brave new world, life on the road.

Kenny Loggins

I met a white man once, who claimed that every black man has a gene which makes him violent. To which, I said I had never been violent and that he was wrong.

Daryl Davis

I'm having to do a lot to keep my clothes on and not be cast in girlfriend roles. Some women will say, "I don't want to be a man - I want the opportunities I can get as a woman." Women have a certain sexuality, and I think their bodies are beautiful and I'm not embarrassed to explore that in a film. But there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent - just like there's a side of me that's vulgar and violent.

Angelina Jolie

We have got to dispel this myth that bullying is just a normal rite of passage.

Barack Obama
