Wounds are an essential part of life, and until you are wounded in some way, you cannot become a man.
- Paul Auster
How hard, how bitter it is to become a man!
- Albert Camus
If love could force my own thoughts over the edge of the world and out of time, then could I not see how even divine omnipotence might by the force of its own love be swayed down to the world?...how it might, because it could know its own creatures only by compassion, put on mortal flesh, become a man, and walk among us, assume our nature and our fate, suffer our faults and our death?
- Wendell Berry
I dare do all that may become a man;
Who dares do more, is none
- William Shakespeare
Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
- Albert Einstein
A woman can become a man's friend only in the following stages - first an acquantaince, next a mistress, and only then a friend.
- Anton Chekhov
How does it become a man to behave towards the American government today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it.
- Henry David Thoreau
Nowadays, of course, just about our only solvent industry is the merchandising of death, bankrolled by our grandchildren, so that the message of our principal art forms, movies and television and political speeches and newspaper columns, for the sake of the economy, simply has to be this: War is hell, all right, but the only way a boy can become a man is in a shoot-out of some kind, preferably, but by no means necessarily, on a battlefield.
- Kurt Vonnegut
I worship her, Alyosha, worship her. Only she doesn't see it. No, she still thinks I don't love her enough. And she tortures me, tortures me with her love. The past was nothing! In the past it was only that infernal body of hers that tortured me, but now I've taken all her soul into my soul and through her I've become a man. Will they marry us? If they don't I will die of jealousy. I imagine something every day..
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
If you want to become a man of letters and perhaps write some Histories one day, you must also lie and invent tales, otherwise your History would become monotonous. But you must act with restraint. The world condemns liars who do nothing but lie, even about the most trivial things, and it rewards poets, who lie only about the greatest things.
- Umberto Eco
That was when I realized a shocking thing. I couldn't become a man without becoming The Man. Even if I didn't want to.
- Jeffrey Eugenides
Instead of a man of peace and love, I have become a man of violence and revenge.
- Hiawatha
I should have just become a manager.
- Drea De Matteo
I like to make everything my friends are involved in a little better. I should have just become a manager.
- Drea De Matteo
I look at the knife-
Resting in a puddle of water-
Near the ledge by the pulpit behind Aaron-
Where I dropped it-
And I hear it calling to me-
Take me, it says-
Take me and use me, it says-
Aaron hold open his arms.
"Murder me," he says. "Become a man."
Never let me go says the knife
