men women
What interests me is why men think of women as witches. It's because they're so fascinating and exasperating, so other.
mention takes thinks time
I should mention something that nobody ever thinks about, but proofreading takes a lot of time. After you write something, there are these proofs that keep coming, and there's this panicky feeling that 'This is me and I must make it better.'
party men two
I would rather be seated between any two women than any two men at a dinner party.
loyalty failure men
All men are mortal, and therefore all men are losers; our profoundest loyalty goes out to the failed.
truth men literature
Truth should not be forced; it should simply manifest itself, like a woman who has in her privacy reflected and coolly decided to bestow herself upon a certain man.
men goes-on young
There's a crystallization that goes on in a poem which the young man can bring off, but which the middle-aged man can't.
golf men wife
Many men are more faithful to their golf partners than to their wives and have stuck with them longer.
dream reality men
To be a human being is to be in a state of tension between your appetites and your dreams, and the social realities around you and your obligations to your fellow man.
nature men echoes
Away, away, from men and towns, To the wild wood and the downs — To the silent wilderness Where the soul need not repress Its music lest it should not find An echo in another's mind.
women men turns
There are some women that don't do it for some men. That's why they turn out so many models.
atheist believe men
The Englishman is under no constitutional obligation to believe that all men are created equal. The American agony is therefore scarcely intelligible, like a saint's self-flagellation viewed by an atheist.
men littles stories
It's been the same story ever since I can remember, ever since Wilson - the Republicans don't do a thing for the little man.
baby men people
I like old men. They can be wonderful bastards because they have nothing to lose. The only people who can be themselves are babies and old bastards.
betrayal men love-is
All love is betrayal, in that it flatters life. The loveless man is best armed.
