Graydon Carter Men Quotations

Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi looks in the mirror and sees a playboy of the old school. And men such as Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Charlie Sheen no doubt look at Berlusconi and think, 'Role model!' Women, of course, know otherwise.

Moping is an unattractive attribute in a man.

Every man in the back of their minds would like to own a bar or a racehorse.

I have always thought you could take the measure of a man by his sports manners - that is to say, the way in which he conducts himself on the playing field, or even over a game of chess or cards.

I think the absence of socks on men wearing suits and brogues is a problem. They'll live to regret that.
