"Real men are sadly lacking in this world, for when they are put to the test they prove worthless." ― Franz Liszt Topic(s): Men More From Franz Liszt "It is impossible to imagine a more complete fusion with nature than that of the Gypsy." "Life is only a long and bitter suicide, and faith alone can transform this suicide into a sacrifice." "Supreme serenity still remains the Ideal of great Art. The shapes and transitory forms of life are but stages toward this Ideal, which Christ’s religion illuminates with His divine light." More In Men "It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death."― Thomas Mann "For a long time I thought I could deal with my anger and hostility on my own. But I couldn’t. I denied that it had affected me, and yet I was so frantic on the inside with other people: I needed to be constantly reassured."― Kelly McGillis "As soon as men know that they can kill without fear of punishment or blame, they kill; or at least they encourage killers with approving smiles."― Simone Weil
