Sexual intercourse is a slight attack of apoplexy.

Every authentic poem contributes to the labour of poetry... to bring together what life has separated or violence has torn apart.

John Berger

It is quite proper to resist and attack a system, but to resist and attack its author is tantamount to resisting and attacking oneself, for we are all tarred with the same brush, and are children of one and the same Creator, and as such the divine powers within us are infinite. To slight a single human being, is to slight those divine powers and thus to harm not only that Being, but with Him, the whole world.

Mahatma Gandhi

In general satire, every man perceives A slight attack, yet neither fears nor grieves.

George Crabbe

Of all the animals on earth, none is so brutish as man when he seeks the delirium of coition.

Edward Dahlberg

So it is more useful to watch a man in times of peril, and in adversity to discern what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off, reality remains.

Lucretius

One of my fears would be getting torn apart by a great white shark. I love the ocean, but I always have this deep fear of getting torn apart by a great whitey.

Theo James

A mild attack of apoplexy may be called death's retaining fee.

Gilles Menage

Why did I date the same kind of man? You look for the same kind of man, and you attract the same kind of man... A lot of it comes from you being a child, your household, and what you see that you've put in your subconscious.

Michel'le

Biggest man law - be a man. Simple: be a man, definition of being a man is being a man. And don't let your woman turn you into a little boy.

Eddie Griffin

Barry Crump wrote a lot of books and they were really special. They were kind of the quintessential, mild for the most part, kind of southern man, kind of the true heart of what it meant to be a Kiwi kind of farmer; very kind of outdoor man living off the land. That kind of thing, you don't see so much anymore these days with everyone being metrosexual and lattes and laptops.

Rhys Darby

A man without passion is only a latent force, only a possibility, like a stone waiting for the blow from the iron to give forth sparks.

Henri Frederic Amiel

The wise man admires water, the kind man admires mountains. The wise man moves, the kind man rests. The wise man is happy, the kind man is firm.

Confucius

Remember that every man is a variation of yourself. No man's guilt is not yours, nor is any man's innocence a thing apart.

William Saroyan

Every authentic poem contributes to the labor of poetry... to bring together what life has separated or violence has torn apart... Poetry can repair no loss, but it defies the space which separates. And it does this by its continual labor of reassembling what has been scattered.
