“When I was a teenager, my father went bust. He could have declared himself bankrupt, but he was an honourable man and he insisted on paying back all his debts. That almost ruined the family.

I guess I was afraid that we would end up on the street.” MenEndsMotherFatherStreetsDebtTeenagerRuinedMother And Father Author:Jo Nesbo
“In terms of style I typically veer toward a certain masculinity. My style inspirations range from images of my father in his 1970s suits, to Tilda Swinton, to Hugh Hefner, to Sharon Stone and her ferocious sexuality, to handsome men I see on the streets of New York.” MenInspirationCertainFatherTermStreetsStyleNew YorkStonesSexualitySuitsRangeMasculinityHandsomeSharonHandsome Men Author:Rachael Taylor
“Fascism is not [only] squads of the SA or the Blackshirts marching on the streets. Fascism is officials, in uniforms ordering what is capitalist supposed to do with "his" factory, and how he should father "his" children and occasionally - how many Jews (or anti-Semites) should be sent to Auschwitz.” ShouldChildrenFatherStreetsJewOfficialsFascismFactoriesCapitalistUniformsAuschwitzSquadMarching On Author:Janusz Korwin-Mikke

“In New Haven, Conn., when I was growing up, there were two sorts of Irish. There were the "drugstore cowboy" micks, who hung around the Elm Street poolroom over Longley's Lunch.

“Given the clientele, the restaurants on Capri might resemble those fancy Northern Italian places on the East Side of Manhattan where the captain has taken bilingual sneering lessons from the maitre d' at the French joint down the street and the waiter, whose father was born in Palermo, would deny under torture that tomato sauce has ever touched his lips.” MightFatherGivenSidesBornTakenStreetsFoodLessonsCookingLipsDenyEastTortureFancyRestaurantsTouchedCulinaryItalianCaptainsJointsManhattanSauceTomatoesWaiterEast SideCapri Book:Third Helpings Source: Third Helpings

“The street is as diverse as any other sector, but in peoples' mind it gets appropriated as a black man who's tough. Trying to make it through by staying hard and phallocentric. To me, that is just an impoverished conception of what it is to be a black male. It doesn't do justice to my grandfather, my father, my brother - or just the black men I grew up with.” MenTryingMindHardFatherBlackJusticeStreetsBrotherGrewGrew UpToughMalesMy BrotherStayingConceptionDiverseGrandfatherMy GrandfatherBlack Males Author:Cornel West
