The vogue of the New Negro . . . had all of the character of a public relations promotion. The Negro had to be "sold" to the public in terms they could understand.

Nathan Huggins Historian

Who one was, where one came from, what one was expected to be, the height of courage and character that were to be achieved, were woven into the fabric that linked oneself to all. . .

Nathan Huggins Historian

For the Afro-American in the 1920's being a 'New Negro' was being 'Modern'. And being an 'New Negro' meant, largely, not being an 'Old Negro', disassociating oneself from the symbols and legacy of slavery - being urbane, assertive militant.

Nathan Huggins Historian

As happy a man as any in the world, for the whole world seems to smile upon me!

Samuel Pepys Member Of Parliament

Left to itself the masculine imagination has very little appreciation for the here and now; it prefers to dwell on what is absent, on what has been or may be. If men are more punctual than women, it is because they know that, without the external discipline of clock time, they would never get anything done.

W. H. Auden Poet

Man's yesterday may never be like his morrow; Nought may endure but Mutability.

Percy Bysshe Shelley Poet

The graveyards are full of indispensable men.

Charles De Gaulle Former President Of The French Republic

Men have the grand vision, and they pass it on to somebody else to put into practice. Women follow the details more, they want to know that it is being put into practice.

Eugenia Charles

I too acknowledge the all-out omnipotence of early culture and nature; hereby we have either a doddered dwarf-bush, or a high-towering, wide-shadowing tree! either a sick yellow cabbage, or an edible luxuriant green one. Of a truth, it is the duty of all men, especially of all philosophers, to note down with accuracy the characteristic circumstances of their education,--what furthered, what hindered, what in any way modified it.

Thomas Carlyle Philosopher

Men are born equal but they are also born different.

Erich Fromm Psychologist
