'Mad Men' is celebrating a time that no longer exists.
Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul. Strictly speaking, therefore, all that is separate from us, all which Philosophy distinguishes as the 'Not Me,' that is, both nature and art, all other men and my own body, must be ranked under this name, 'Nature.'
Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.
In my experience of the men of action I have met - whether from the Second World War or Iraq or Vietnam - they often had to do things that they would rather not reflect upon afterwards. This is perhaps one reason why the story of the Bielskis remained untold for so long.
I don't like being surrounded by yes men.
Nothing is more common than for men to think that because they are familiar with words they understand the ideas they stand for.

It is the superfluous things for which men sweat, - superfluous things that wear our togas theadbare, that force us to grow old in camp, that dash us upon foreign shores.
War kills men, and men deplore the loss; but war also crushes bad principles and tyrants, and so saves societies.
I think my best work has been in France with great men. It's been my great fortune to work with really great men - with Olivier Assayas, Raoul Ruiz, Jacques Rivette. I am tutored by them.
Sometimes it leads me even to hesitate whether I am strictly correct in my idea that all men are born to equal rights, for their conduct seems to me to contravene the doctrine.
The unphilosophical majority among men are the ones most helplessly dependent on their era's dominant ideas.
The one big, humongous, immense thing that we didn't change, that we didn't figure out how to deal with is, if men and women are both going to work throughout their lives, who's going to take care of the kids?
There hardly can be a greater difference between any two men, than there too often is, between the same man, a lover and a husband.
I think I was born at a time when an American male had so many advantages and opportunities that weren't available to men before or after, just a very brief period.
What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.

We must conceive of this whole universe as one commonwealth of which both gods and men are members.
