“Adolescence, while it’s a place I like to visit periodically, shouldn’t be a lifestyle. Tragic maturity, while appropriate at times, will kill your soul if practiced perpetually.”
― The Testosterone Principles 2: Manhood and Other Stuff

“What man is interested in someone else’s baby? First and foremost, that baby is the living embodiment of some other male’s success in mating. Mating is our biological imperative and the father of the wretched thing won; beat us in this biological imperative. We’re the loser. We’ve let him succeed in perpetuating his genes.”

“When you were a kid, didn’t you dream about going off to slay dragons? Didn’t you dream about being some kind of hero?
And as you grew up and realized that you probably wouldn’t be slaying any dragons, real or metaphorical, didn’t you get tired of just watching others do physical things? Didn’t you get tired of only being involved in surrogate achievement, you know, living vicariously through the basketball players, the soccer players, the Italian bocce ball players, or whoever it is you admire?
You gotta’ understand, people like me never stop lifting weights. The part of us that wanted to slay the dragon? It didn’t die. It won’t.”
