“That stream, Arthur,’ said the elder traveller, as with one consent they stopped to gaze on such a scene as I have described, ‘resembles the life of a good and a happy man.’ ‘And the brook, which hurries itself headlong down yon distant hill, marking its course by a streak of white foam,’ answered Arthur,—‘what does that resemble?’ ‘That of a brave and unfortunate one,’ replied his father. ‘The torrent for me,’ said Arthur; ‘a headlong course which no human force can oppose, and then let it be as brief as it is glorious’.... This stream, by a devious and gentle course, which seemed to indicate a reluctance to leave this quiet region, found its way at length out of the sequestered domain, and, like a youth hurrying from the gay and tranquil sports of boyhood into the wild career of active life, finally united itself with the boisterous torrent, which, breaking down tumultuously from the mountains, shook the ancient Tower of Geierstein as it rolled down the adjacent rock, and then rushed howling through the defile in which our youthful traveller had well-nigh lost his life.”

“So after conferring with the waiter for about an hour, the two men managed to convince him it would be easier for him if halved the bill or they'd 'report him'. Obviously, it was a bit hazy exactly who would report whom for what, but eventually, with a certain amount of swearing and arm-waving, the waiter gave up and went into the kitchen and wrote them a new bill. In the meantime Rune and Ove, nodded grimly at one another without noticing that their wives, as usual, had taken a taxi home twenty minutes earlier.”

“When a man ……...!!!! ..... no this is not a man….. !!!!! When a man does not have any conviction, When a man does not do what he believes in his gut feelings, When a man live as a sailor’s life, the winds and waves are the controller of his path, When a man drops all his moral compass whenever fits his survivor needs, When a man tries to hide his believes for temporary or permanent gains, When a man blinds himself to the “truth” and tries to replace it with the “convenience”, When a man doesn’t face the storms head on and instead tries to give it his back When a man declines of stating the fact and rather replace it with fiction of his own When a man does not raise his head high enough to be seen to everybody and not stick it in the sand to hide from everyone. When a man cannot control his anger and instead uses his muscle rather than his mind When a man sells his soul for whoever may pay more When a man does all the above, is not considered a real man, no, not at all, this is a man without balls, a fiction one”
