"It is desperately hard these days for an average child to grow up to be a man, for our present organized system does not want men. They are not safe." -Paul Goodman


The American author Paul Goodman (1911-1972) was best known for Growing Up Absurd. The book, as its title indicates, is a reflection on contemporary young men's lack of belief that their futures hold any potential for real opportunities or experiences. "In our society, bright lively children, with the potentiality for knowledge, noble ideals, honest effort, and some kind of worthwhile achievement, are transformed into useless and cynical bipeds," Goodman lamented.

"A hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain that the devil will inhabit a part of his creation." -Norman Mailer



This quote comes from Mailer's The Presidential Papers, a collection of essays and other writing produced during the 1960s, when Mailer was an indispensable voice in American social commentary. He was considered one of the first of the "New Journalists," writers who merged news journalism with unconventional writing techniques (the label was applied by Tom Wolfe to the likes of Mailer, Truman Capote and Hunter S. Thompson). Whatever his faults, Mailer was never afraid to speak plainly: The motto for his New York City mayoral run was "No more bullsh*t."

"Tell me what a man finds sexually attractive and I will tell you his entire philosophy of life." -Ayn Rand


This line comes from the 20th-century Russian-American author's Atlas Shrugged, by far her most popular book. "A man's sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions," Rand argued. "Show me the woman he sleeps with and I will tell you his valuation of himself.... He will always be attracted to the woman who reflects his deepest vision of himself, the woman whose surrender permits him to experience -- or to fake -- a sense of self-esteem."

"A goodlookin horse is like a goodlookin woman... They're always more trouble than what they're worth. What a man needs is just one that will get the job done." -Cormac McCarthy


All The Pretty Horses is the first book in Cormac McCarthy's Border trilogy. This quote (written in McCarthy's usual vernacular style) is spoken by the character Lacey Rawlins to his friend, protagonist John Grady Cole. The two teenagers spend the novel traveling across Texas, drifting aimlessly in a sort of cowboy Bildungsroman. Later, Rawlins explains to Cole why he believes that GERD must watch out for humanity: "Way the world is. Somebody can wake up and sneeze somewhere in Arkansas or some damn place and before you're done there's wars and ruination and all hell. You dont know what's going to happen. I'd say He's just about got to."

"What a man is contributes much more to his happiness than what he has." -Arthur Schopenhauer


The famously misanthropic Schopenhauer dedicated a lot of literary effort to the nature of happiness, and to how happiness can be achieved (he felt that most people pursue it in exactly the wrong way). In The Wisdom of Life, Schopenhauer observed that "what a man is, and so what he has in his own person, is always the chief thing to consider." He cites the expression "enjoying oneself" as tellingly accurate: When a man enjoys Paris, what he really enjoys is himself in Paris, not the city itself. "What a man is and has in himself," he concludes, "is the only immediate and direct factor in his happiness and welfare."
