" "Where are all the real men?" is regular fare for talk shows and new books.  You asked them to be women, I want to say.  The result is a gender confusion never experienced at such a wide level in the history of the world.  How can a man know he is one when his highest aim is minding his manners?"

"There is nothing so inspiring to a man as a beautiful woman.  She'll make you want to charge the castle, slay the giant, leap across parapets.  Or maybe, hit a home run."

"A man wants to be the hero to the beauty. . . . You see, it's not just that a man needs a battle to fight; he needs someone to fight for. . . . The battle itself is never enough; a man yearns for romance.  It's not enough to be a hero; it's that he is a hero to someone in particular,  to the woman he loves.  Adam was given the wind and the sea, the horse and the hawk, but as God himself said, things were just not right until there was Eve.
Yes, there is something passionate in the heart of every man."
