“Manhood Diaries (The Sonnet)

Onun için cennet ol, cehennem değil.
Vicdanlı bir adam ol, hayvan değil.
Sé una bendición para ella, no una maldición.
Onun yaralarına ilacı ol, tuz değil.

Be her paradise, not prison.
Be her man, not master.
Be a miracle to her maladies.
Be her crown, not custard.

There is no alpha male and beta male,
There is only man and baboon.
Decency defines a man's character,
Not the virility of his heirloom.

Partner on the streets,
Slave between the sheets,
That's what a real man is.
Undaunted in danger,
Uncompromising in calamity,
That's what a real human is.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

Whole point of it—they make ya feel something.” His dad had told him many times that the definition of a real man is one who cries without shame, reads poetry with his heart, feels opera in his soul, and does what’s necessary to defend a woman.”
― Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing

“Rapunzel, I'm not anything heroic or wonderful or whatever you thought," he said sadly. "I'm a sneak thief mostly out for my own good. The rest of it's a lie. My name isn't even Flynn Rider."
"Um, what?"
Of all the many things she thought he might say, this was not one of them.
"My real name is Eugene Fitzherbert. At least, that was what was on record at the orphanage."
There might have been a glint from inside a guard's helmet at that, as if he couldn't help sniggering a little.
Rapunzel's jaw actually fell open.
"Eugene?" she asked.
"Yes."
"And doesn't Fitz mean--"
"Yes, it does," he interrupted in annoyance. "But who knows if that's really my family name, or a real name, or whatever. I think of myself as Flynn Rider. Daring hero, escape artist, adventurer extraordinaire... Eugene is someone who wastes away in an orphanage, who nobody wants. Eugene eats porridge once or twice a day, maybe, and wears the old clothes that bigger kids grew out of a generation ago."
"I like Eugene," Rapunzel protested, patting his hand. "I like it better than Flynn. It sounds more... real. Like who you really are."
"Thanks," he muttered.
"No, really! Eugene doesn't abandon his friends. Eugene makes snarky remarks... and then hangs around witchy goat farms to see how he can help. Eugene pauses his wild, adventurous life to make sure the people around him get their happy endings. Eugene gives crowns back to their rightful owners."
"Eugene winds up drained of his blood in a castle ruled by a demonic she-beast," Flynn said, looking up to gauge his captors' possibly violent response. They didn't move. "Flynn Rider is somewhere off riding into the sunset--"
"Without his princess," Rapunzel interrupted, hands on hips.
Flynn smiled sadly at her.”

“He's clearly not suited to the public rigors of this role. Encouraging the delusions of a mentally ill---"
Johnny had finally reached his limit.
"That's it." Releasing Rosie, he walked to the door and pulled it open. "Your Highness. Lancier. Get out."
Sylvie couldn't repress an instinctive snort at the look on the duchess's face.
Every affronted, outraged GIF in history had just come to life in this room.
If the Prince of Wales never had a child, it was possible that the Duchess of Albany could one day become Queen Consort.
At the very least, she would hopefully much sooner become Johnny's mother-in-law.
He did not give one single shit.
"Out," he said again, his entire demeanor brooking no opposition.
The duchess was the most stereotypical type of bully. When faced with a dose of her own medicine, she retreated.
With a malevolent glare at the offspring who'd foisted this man on her.”
― Lucy Parker, Battle Royal

“As much as you hate my guts, we both have a vested interest in Sylvie's happiness. She's so worried about you that she's physically shaking. If you hurt her---then you and I have a serious problem.”

“Just promise me one thing--- don't tell him I dumped you because you can't cook. I refuse to feed into more of his ridiculous ideas about women. Deal?"
Swoon. His words were even better than a kiss. He was so dreamy. And progressive. Nothing like the guys she knew around here. "Deal.”
― Alana Albertson, Kiss Me, Mi Amor
