"There is no path to manhood. Masculinity is the way. So: name the wound! Feel it and cry! Look for the sight of the father! This is not passivity, this is activity. Take full responsibility for your life and your actions! Don't complain, don't hide in your shame, don't wait for warm feelings or miracles! Act as if! Hit the road! Risk something!

There is no path to manhood. Masculinity is the way. So: name the wound! Feel it and cry! Look for the sight of the father! This is not passivity, this is activity. Take full responsibility for your life and your actions! Don't complain, don't hide in your shame, don't wait for warm feelings or miracles! Act as if! Hit the road! Risk something!
""Nincs út a férfiúsághoz. A férfiúság az út. Tehát: nevezd meg a sebet! Érezd és sirasd meg! Keresd az apa látványát! Ez nem passzivitás, ez aktivitás. Vállald egészen a felelősséget az életedért és a tetteidért! Ne panaszkodj, ne bújj el szemérmességedben, ne várj meleg érzelmekre vagy csodákra! Cselekedj, mintha! Indulj az útra! Kockáztass valamit!"
