Quote by Shari Low

“No one ever tells you men are like knickers – after a time, they get grey and washed out and they can have a tendency to fall down when you least expect it. Or, even worse, you find a perfect pair that you love, only to discover that your shape is changing and they don't fit any more, no matter how much you try to pull them up.”

“To face a life in these extremes, these men must live to a code of machismo that would wither the men of many cultures. Is it somehow required that, to hold your head high as a man among men, you must treat your life with such casual abandon? Or, I wondered, is it more than that? Is it tied to their overall spiritual view of life? By walking the thin line cast by the shadow of death, do they come to know life with an intimacy that the timid cannot?”

“Fashionable Beard” I asked my friend, sporting a fashionable beard, with playful curiosity: ‘Has your beard brought you new fans?’ ‘You have no idea how much it has!’ he laughed, eyes gleaming with irony. ‘Do you wonder why people can’t see you clearly without it?’ I probed. He smiled and said, ‘This beard reminds me daily— people refuse to face the bare truth. They only look at things when they’re dressed up in something— a mask, a trend, a distraction. But never just as they are.”

“But Brook was on a roll. She started gesturing and pacing the carpet. "All I ask for is a cute little hideaway that hasn't sustained decades of internal structural damage. I don't want a fixer-upper; I don't want to spend all my free time fixing the previous owners' mistakes; I just want to move in and unpack. Is that really so much to ask?" "Yes," Anna said. "Both with houses and with men." (p 187)”
