There is nothing to write about, you say. Well, then, write and let me know just this,-that there is nothing to write about; or tell me in the good old style if you are well. That's right. I am quite well.

Pliny the Younger

I have always disliked being a man. The whole idea of manhood in America is pitiful, in my opinion. This version of masculinity is a little like having to wear an ill-fitting coat for one's entire life (by contrast, I imagine femininity to be an oppressive sense of nakedness).

Napoleon Bonaparte

I can imagine nothing more terrifying than an Eternity filled with men who were all the same. The only thing which has made life bearable...has been the diversity of creatures on the surface of the globe.
