Famous quotes containing the words sided and/or ideal:
“I have desired to go
Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“For most Northerners, Texas is the home of real men. The cowboys, the rednecks, the outspoken self-made right-wing millionaires strike us as either the best or worst examples of American manliness.... The ideal is not an illusion nor is it contemptible, no matter what damage it may have done. Many people who scorn it in conversation want to submit to it in bed. Those who believe machismo reeks of violence alone choose to forget it once stood for honor as well.”
—Edmund White (b. 1940)
