Man Quotes
Short lines on character, patience and what it means to be a man.

For steadier, values-driven lines, see our Good quotes.

If you look at films about becoming a man, coming-of-age movies are made with 12-, 16-, 40-, 50-year-olds... For a guy to feel like he's a 100 percent grown-up is almost like giving up. Like admitting that you're on your way into the grave.
