Quote by Steven Magee

“The big difference that I see with the sexes is men carry their cell phones on their body next to their testicles, whereas women carry their cellphones off their bodies in handbags.”

“I'd been spending my professional life, at GQ and Esquire both, reading fiction by men about men. The sub-subjects: The Land of Marriage. A middle-aged man coming to terms with Something. Extramarital affairs. Hotel rooms. Adult life as unwinnable game. A man trying, and failing, to be a man - whatever that thing was. A wife. A waif. Oh, God, the mothers. How many trailer parks were there upon the greensward? There sure were a lot of trains. Why were there so many prostitutes? And why were so many of the women dead? Rarely did any children appear in the stuff I read, and when they did, they tended to serve as devices for the teaching of moral lessons - touching ones, usually. And the women - voluble, irrational, rarely all that smart, but, with any luck, sexy, sexy, sexy - functioned as instruments to male enlightenment. Oh, if I had a dime for each time I read the sentence "She made me feel alive..." (to which my private stock response was always "And you made her feel dead").”

“Justice.' Thoros smiled wanly. 'I remember justice. It had a pleasant taste. Justice was what we were about hone Beria led us, or so we told ourselves. We were king's men, knights, and heroes...but some knights are dark and full of terror, my lady. War makes monsters of us all.' 'Are you saying you are monsters?' 'I am saying we are human. You are not the only one with wounds, Lady Brienne. Some of my brothers were good men when this began. Some were...less good, shall we say? Though there are those who say it does not matter how a man begins, but only how it ends. I suppose it is the same for women.”

“Sophia elbowed her in the side. "Are you deliberately ignoring my question about the dashing major, or are you simply displaying your superior manners?" "I have nothing of interest to tell you about Major Kurland. He is still bedridden and remarkably argumentative." "In my experience, men never make good patients," Mrs. Hathaway said comfortably. "They either behave like children, or imagine they are the only mortal in the entire world to ever be so sick, or near death." She set a stich in her embroidery. "Mind you, I'm not surprised Major Kurland is a difficult patient. After his distinguished career in the military, it must be hard for him to be idle." Lucy didn't argue the point. The whole village seemed intent on hero-worshipping Major Kurland, and wouldn't hear a word against him. Only she, Foley, and Bookman seemed to know what it was really like to tend the oh-so-ungallant major.”
