“Then again, could you imagine me walking on to the balcony in St Peter’s Square in Rome and delivering the Urbi et Orbi. ‘OK, I’m finished now. Get to foking work!’ Pope Guenther the first would be Pope Guenther the last!”

“I would languish in the sack until noon, hoping reality would somehow go away by virtue of my simply refusing to acknowledge it.”

“Theoretical knowledge is not the exclusive domain of ivory tower intellectuals, but is, in fact, a crucial necessity of man's proper survival. Every bit of your mental contents is derived from some theory, and your success and happiness hinge on whether it is true or false, good or evil.”
― Mike Mentzer, Heavy Duty

“Men are taught over and over when they are boys that a wound that hurts is shameful. A wound that stops you from continuing to play is a girlish wound. He who is truly a man keeps walking, dragging his guts behind.

Our story gives a teaching diametrically opposite. It says that where a man's wound is, that is where his genius will be. Wherever the wound appears in our psyches, whether from alcoholic father, shaming mother, shaming father, abusing mother, whether it stems from isolation, disability, or disease, that is precisely the place for which we will give our major gift to the community.”
― Robert Bly, Iron John: A Book About Men
