Quote by Jane Austen

No man is offended by another man's admiration of the woman he loves; it is the woman only who can make it a torment.

No man is offended by another man's admiration of the woman

Summary

This quote suggests that in a romantic relationship, a man does not feel offended or threatened by another man expressing admiration for the woman he loves. The source of torment, however, lies in the woman herself, as her reaction to this admiration can either alleviate or exacerbate the situation. The quote implies that a woman's response, be it possessiveness or insecurity, plays a crucial role in how such admiration affects the dynamics of a relationship.

My dad was a huge country music fan, but he also had a band and he sang. So he'd listen to a lot of music and the songs that he'd learn for the band were more from the male artists. So my earliest country memories were Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck even.

I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebo

I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else's, but behind all of them, there's only one truth and that is that there is no truth... No truth behind all truths is what I and this church preach! Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it. Where is there a place for you to be? No place... In yourself right now is all the place you've got.

Actual life was chaos, but there was something terribly logi

Actual life was chaos, but there was something terribly logical in the imagination. It was the imagination that set remorse to dog the feet of sin. It was the imagination that made each crime bear its misshapen brood. In the common world of fact the wicked were not punished, nor the good rewarded. Success was given to the strong, failure thrust upon the weak. That was all.
