“We disengage from life, simply because we are afraid to fail. Men leave jobs, families, and responsibilities. Or we live hidden away from life, in basements or bars, drinking our lives away. Over time, we become wraiths, shadow-men living apart from reality and destiny.”
― John Sowers, The Heroic Path: In Search of the Masculine Heart

“Sometimes we want to fail. It's our preemptive strike on fear, if we don't try before we get to the finish line - we never have to face it. To relieve ourselves of the fear, we prefail.”

“Many men have never tasted this tonic. We have no draughts of wildness to press against our lips. No wells, springs, or rivers to drink from with cupped hands. Young men are usually invited to drink by an elder. But we have no elders. No initiation rights. No place. We have no clear road or definition of manhood.”

“Men are like pickup trucks - We do best when we have weight in the bed. On icy roads, we tend to ski around when there is no weight over the rear tires. We perform best when we carry a load, when others count on us. This is when we rise, when we find our strength.”

“We haven't seen a man plow his fields. Work the steel mills. Use his leathery hands on the plough. We haven't seen the preindustrial-revolution man labor with sweat and bone. We haven't seen a generation fight to save the world. We haven't seen a man fish for days, hunt for dinner, or pray on his knees. Unlike our forefathers, we are indoors.”
― John Sowers
