| "Once a gentleman, and always a gentleman." | Charles Dickens | Little Dorrit |  | | "God for men—religions for women," he muttered sometimes. | Joseph Conrad | Nostromo | | | "To love, for us men, is to clasp one woman with our arms, feeling that she lives and breathes just as we do, suffers as we do, thinks with us, loves with us, and, above all, sins with us." | Baroness Emmuska Orczy | I Will Repay | | | "I take it that 'gentleman' is a term that only describes a person in his relation to others; but when we speak of him as 'a man,' we consider him not merely with regard to his fellow-men, but in relation to himself,--to life--to time--to eternity." | Elizabeth Gaskell | North and South | | | "Men always want to be a woman's first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about things. What we like is to be a man's last romance." | Oscar Wilde | A Woman of No Importance | | | There is left in every man something of the primeval love of stalking. | John Galsworthy | Fraternity | | | "I don't deny that an odd man here and there, if he's caught young and trained up proper, and if his mother has spanked him well beforehand, may turn out a decent being." | Lucy Maud Montgomery | Anne's House of Dreams | | | By the cigars they smoke, and the composers they love, ye shall know the texture of men's souls. | John Galsworthy | The Forsyte Saga | | | "Men prize the thing ungain'd more than it is." | William Shakespeare | Troilus and Cressida | | | Such young men are often awkward, ungainly, and not yet formed in their gait; they straggle with their limbs, and are shy; words do not come to them with ease, when words are required, among any but their accustomed associates. Social meetings are periods of penance to them, and any appearance in public will unnerve them. They go much about alone, and blush when women speak to them. In truth, they are not as yet men, whatever the number may be of their years; and, as they are no longer boys, the world has found for them the ungraceful name of hobbledehoy. | Anthony Trollope | The Small House at Allington | | | Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! | Nathaniel Hawthorne | The Scarlet Letter | | | "We know, Mr. Weller - we, who are men of the world - that a good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later." | Charles Dickens | The Pickwick Papers | | | "Oh, child, men's men: gentle or simple, they're much of a muchness." | George Eliot | Daniel Deronda | | | "Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot . . . " | Oscar Wilde | The Picture of Dorian Gray | | | Women can resist a man's love, a man's fame, a man's personal appearance, and a man's money, but they cannot resist a man's tongue when he knows how to talk to them. | Wilkie Collins | The Woman in White | |
