When my dad died a lot of songs came, and they're still coming.

When I'm talking to groups that are all men, we talk about how the masculine role limits them. They often want to talk about how they missed having real fathers, real loving, present fathers, because of the way that they tried to fit the picture of masculinity.

Many very strong fathers have turned out ineffectual sons by not allowing them to grow as men.

Men who live valiantly and die nobly have a strength and a courage from the eternal Father.

It always seems to me so odd that when a man dies, he takes out with him all the knowledge that he has got in his lifetime whilst sowing his wild oats or winning successes. And he leaves his sons or younger brothers to go through all the work of learning it over again from their own experience.

Time is the king of all men, he is their parent and their grave, and gives them what he will and not what they crave.

It is my duty to voice the suffering of men, the never-ending sufferings heaped mountain-high.

When a father climbs a dangerous mountain and dies, we mourn. When a mother does, we question her judgment. How could she?

Life levels all men. Death reveals the eminent.
