A man with a beard was always a little suspect anyway. You couldn't say you wore a beard because you liked a beard. People didn't like you for telling the truth. You had to say you had a scar so you couldn't shave.
~ John Steinbeck
Only beards can't make you count as a man, you need to have respect for women in your heart for that.
~ Moosa Rahat
All the real blokes I know are obsessed with cars and have started doing cycling at the weekend and being really, really boring about it and banging on about their Fitbits and growing stupid beards and talking about being on Tinder. That's what all the 'real men' are like these days!
~ Jenny Colgan
My father told me that it is only a mad man that keeps bushy hairs. I asked him, what about the great men with bushy hairs?. He replied, education had made them mad, so study to be wise and sane.

The abundance of beards in periods of social unrest, times of revolt or upheaval, should be noted. It's the handiest way people have of making themselves mysterious.
~ Mihail Sebastian
