Masculine Quotes

“Every man who is any kind of artist has a great deal of female in him. I act and give of myself as a man, but I register and receive with the soul of a woman. The only really good artists are feminine. I can't admit the existence of an artist whose dominant personality is masculine.”
― Orson Welles, My Lunches with Orson

“He lifted his head, the sight of his dark, disheveled hair, eyes glinting with longing in the lamp light, the gorgeous spread of his shoulders, tapering down to the narrow thrust of his hips, made my ovaries ache deep in my belly.”
― Emme Rollins, Dear Rockstar

“It is arrogance in us to call frankness, fairness, and chivalry ‘masculine’ when we see them in a woman; it is arrogance in them to describe a man’s sensitiveness or tact or tenderness as ‘feminine.”
― C.S. Lewis

“The menopause of Sarah became her menostart; this is feminine beauty! The death plot against Mordecai became his life spring; this is masculine beauty! A kind of life lived in God's word is a life of miraculous beauty!”
― Israelmore Ayivor

“When you are playing the ‘strong and independent’ woman game, YOU ARE IN RESISTANCE TO YOUR OWN SENSUALITY.”
― Lebo Grand

“The individuation journey — the psychological quest for wholeness — ends in the union of opposites; in the inner marriage of “masculine” and “feminine” aspects of the personality that can be symbolized by the image of yin and yang contained within a circle. Said more abstractly and without assigning gender, the journey toward wholeness results in having the ability to be both active and receptive, autonomous and intimate, to work and to love. These are parts of ourselves that we come to know through life experiences, parts that are inherent in all of us. This is the human potential.”
― Jean Shinoda Bolen, Goddesses in Everywoman

“Sensuality is the perfect balance of the masculine and feminine energies.”
― Lebo Grand

“I LOVE men.
I understand and love the solid atmosphere that men spread.
I understand and love their determination that makes them reach their goals so successfully.
I love their courage to take risks and tackle things that scare me or what I don't have the mental or physical strength to do.
I love their friendly tussles and their ability to meet problems with humor.
I love their unspeakable gentleness, tenderness and care in dealing with the fragile.
I love their strengths that they so generously give - and their weaknesses that give the opportunity to balance and give back to them.
I love how “impossible” they are sometimes because it gives the opportunity to love unconditionally.
I love their straightforwardness and their pride, and their wild passions as well as their shyness and humbleness when they realize life is calling them to grow.
Men and women can complement each other perfectly and I celebrate that!
I love manhood and I LOVE all my boys!”
― Elke Heinrich

“Men are sex machines, said Aunt Lydia, and not much more. They only want one thing. You must learn to manipulate them, for your own good. Lead them around by the nose...”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

“Heal the masculine and feminine energies within you, so you can cultivate healthier relationships with both in your life.”
― Robin S. Baker

“With pronounced crowds around him - towns rowdy with loud shouting - without pouting childishly, while making his case soundly, he announced it quite proudly (mouth smiling undoubtedly (without clouds of doubt frowning)): 'See, this wild thing about me: I don't live life without me. So, how now shall you crown me? No need to bow down for me, or drown me in salary, or go tout my mastery (like an ounce is astounding); or oppositely, clown me, and just sound like a mouse squeak. Though none are better than me, no one's ever less than me; and it rings out hourly, like a vow surrounding me, a thousand pound pact to me, an infinite galaxy (that fits in this house of me (as if it's my fallacy (like 'limitless boundaries' (within this reality)))) - it's what gets the best of me - my ground and my gravity, as once said by Bukowski, 'I've never met another man I'd rather be.”
― Criss Jami

“Confirming masculinity rather than achieving love appears to be the male’s central dilemma, a preoccupation that permeates many aspects of his life.”
― Ethel Spector Personr

“The masculine and feminine dynamics are inherently chaotic and often toxic (my opinion). And sensuality holds more intelligence than both the masculine or feminine as we traditionally know them.”
― Lebo Grand

“The grit and grimness of it appealed to him, some place dark and dirty and distinctively male; far from his wife's clean-scrubbed kitchen. Far from Eulalia Wakefield's lavender-scented bathtub. He didn't want to be in the kind of place where life was made, cradled, loved into flourishing. He wanted a place that burned, and he wanted to be there all by himself.”
― Allie Ray, Children of Promise

“My woman has to be wild. I won’t say ‘within reason’ because I don’t play in the realm of reason myself, but I’ll say she must be wild within her sensual growth while also trusting my masculine leadership too.”
― Lebo Grand

“It's hilarious that having a cushion on a barstool to make it more comfortable is considered a feminine touch, but there you go. Maybe it's a mark of masculine virility to have a sore butt.”
― Mallory O'Meara, Girly Drinks: A World History of Women and Alcohol

“. . . wine was described in extremely vague and misleading terms. Some wines were feminine and some were masculine. What does masculine wine taste like? Sweaty tube socks? Old Spice? Talking about wine like this unhelpful at best and confusing at worst.”
― Mallory O'Meara, Girly Drinks: A World History of Women and Alcohol

“The feminine needs two things more than anything else in the world: trust and safety.”
― Traver Boehm, Man Uncivilized

“The kind of men you see in the movies would be hard to handle in real life, though – they’re so fixated on their own masculinity. And sometimes that male pride, that proper behaviour, it all starts to seem ridiculous. If they could just get over themselves, then everything might be a whole lot simpler.”
― Izumi Suzuki, Terminal Boredom: Stories

“Is not the measure of a man his intent to measure himself as less than the men around him? For if he does, he will never find himself looking over the top of their heads. Rather, he will always find himself positioned low enough to peer into their hearts.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The thing about guys his age, Andrei thought, was they all morphed into one big “bro.” Certain phrases like, “Nah, you’re good... damn, wow, that’s sick... I appreciate you,” have taken such enormous space in the air. Young men use them habitually, and accompany it with that general, polite airiness in the voice that communicates there is no incoming trouble. But that nice tone took a shape on vocal cords, and those phrases redesigned the brain all into one puzzle piece: the modern man. It was like taking a pair of scissors and cutting a man’s unique shape into a rectangle, so all men could be properly put back into place, like gathering playing cards to be shuffled.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, A Happy Ghost

“Sensuality is androgynous. It’s about raising yourself above the traditional standards of masculine or feminine roles or identities.

As we are told in Scripture, “There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, MALE or FEMALE.”

Ultimately, sensuality is about raising yourself above nature.”
― Lebo Grand

“All the unseen forces. All the nurturing energy given forth from women, through the generations, given to the land, to the harvest. To the sky and the Earth. All the gentle love – that no one sees, yet that feeds every life from plant to roaming creature. Our world would die without positive, flowing feminine and masculine energies. Our world would die from thirst, parched and brittle if it never accepted the warm, feminine winds and the nurturing ocean of the feminine force.”
― Tamara Rendell, Realm of the Witch Queen

“Their plan is to make the future feminine because they hate and want to get rid of masculinity. But the perfect future is neither feminine nor masculine. The perfect future is sensual.”
― Lebo Grand

“Sensuality is about disruptive thinking. And disruptive thinking isn’t about picking a side between the masculine and the feminine. It’s about stepping past the arguments and rising above gender issues. This war between genders clearly indicates how far out of touch people are with their sensual side.”
― Lebo Grand

“Women are poetry,
Men are philosophy.
Entire school of thought,
finds a voice undistraught,
in one little poetry.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Either Right or Human: 300 Limericks of Inclusion

“When I was a child, I associated my parents with individual flavors. It was the same way you might filter someone through a prism of color--- thinking of some people in blues, other people in reds--- but instead of color, the sensation I latched on to was flavor. My mother's flavors were always those of the desserts she made--- suave caramels and milk chocolates and the delicate, utterly feminine accents of crystallized violets or buttery almonds. But my father's flavors--- my father's flavors were something else altogether. They were subtle and elusive and melted on the tongue only to vanish before you could place them. Dark, adult flavors, and slightly bitter: veal carpaccio. silvery artichokes. And, most of all, mushrooms: chanterelles, chicken of the woods, and--- my father's favorite mushroom of all--- trumpets of death.”
― Charlotte Silver, Charlotte Au Chocolat: Memories of a Restaurant Girlhood

“The most erotic moment for a woman is feeling that you are Shiva, the divine masculine: unperturbable, totally loving, fully present, and all-pervading. She cannot move you, because you already are what you are, with or without her. She cannot scare you away, because you already penetrate her in fearless love, pervading her heart and body. She cannot distract you, because your one-pointed commitment to truth will not bend to her wiles. Feeling this hugeness of love and freedom in you, she can trust you, utterly, and surrender her testing in celebration of love.”
