Quotes:
"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." -Ernest Hemingway
"It’s as if men are always on guard, always ready for a challenge, as if their very identity is at stake with every interaction." – Norah Vincent
"What I’d experienced as a man…was not the soul-deadening callousness I’d imagined but the exact opposite: a suffocating solitude." Vincent
"Men are, in fact, imprisoned by their roles as well, just as women are. They are held captive by their need to perform, to be the provider, the protector, the strong one, to keep all emotions in check." – Vincent
"A man’s success is measured by what he is willing to sacrifice to achieve it." –Bruce Lee
"A man’s greatest fear is that he is not good enough. His greatest fear is that he will be found out to be a failure, and everything he has built will come crumbling down." - David Deida, The Way of the Superior Man
