Elisabeth Elliot
“But somehow marriage has also insinuated into their cozy lives this unpredictable, unmanageable, unruly creature called a man. He is likely to be bigger and louder and tougher and hungrier and dirtier than a woman expects, and she finds that bigger feet make bigger footprints on the newly washed kitchen floor; they make a bigger noise on the stairs. She learns that what makes her cry makes him laugh. He eats far more than seems necessary or even reasonable to a woman who never ceases her vigil against excess weight. When he takes a shower his broader dimensions mean more water used and a greater surface for water to cling to and therefore she finds that the towels get much wetter, and he probably doesn't hang them up folded in three as she wants him to in order to display the monogram. He may not hang them up at all. He won't use a washcloth, which means he consumes three times as much soap as she does. When she cleans the bathroom, she finds she has to clean in places she never had to clean before. He's a toothpaste twister instead of a roller. Anything he does which seems to her inexplicable or indefensible she dismisses with "Just like a man!" as though this were a condemnation or at best an excuse instead of a very good reason for thanking God. It is a man she married, after all, and she is lucky if he acts like a man.”
Elisabeth Elliot, Let Me Be a Woman

N.D. Wilson
“Son," his father said. "Run faithfully to the end, and like all good men, you will die of having lived.”
N.D. Wilson, The Drowned Vault

Elisabeth Elliot
“No woman who has not learned to master herself can be trusted to submit willingly to her husband. And that word willingly means that she does not merely resign herself to something she cannot avoid. It means that by an act of her own will she gives herself.”
Elisabeth Elliot, Let Me Be a Woman

Bram Stoker
“It seems that there is never to be any perfect rest. Even in Eden the snake rears its head among the laden boughs of the Tree of Knowledge. The silence of the dreamless night is broken by the roar of the avalanche; the hissing of sudden floods; the clanging of the engine bell marking its sweep through a sleeping American town; the clanking of distant paddles over the sea....”
Bram Stoker, The Jewel of Seven Stars

Arthur Conan Doyle
“Are you in the police yourself?” “No.” “What business is it of yours, then?” “It’s every man’s business to see justice done.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Complete Sherlock Holmes
