"Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be." ― George Orwell Topic(s): Men More From George Orwell "The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink." "We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." "A family with the wrong members in control; that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase." More In Men "As you watch the world crumble, try taking your Armageddon with this sprinkling of irony: Over the last three decades, business has got virtually everything it wanted, and its doomsday scenario from the 1970s has come true because of it."― Thomas Frank "Some men have a necessity to be mean, as if they were exercising a faculty which they had to partially neglect since early childhood."― F. Scott Fitzgerald "Men become civilized, not in proportion to their willingness to believe, but in proportion to their readiness to doubt."― Ambrose Bierce
