blokes QUOTES

1 " My Aunt Dahlia, who runs a woman's paper called Milady's Boudoir, had recently backed me into a corner and made me promise to write her a few words for her " Husbands and Brothers" page on " What the Well-Dressed Man is Wearing" . I believe in encouraging aunts, when deserving; and, as there are many worse eggs than her knocking about the metrop, I had consented blithely. But I give you my honest word that if I had had the foggiest notion of what I was letting myself in for, not even a nephew's devotion would have kept me from giving her the raspberry. A deuce of a job it had been, taxing the physique to the utmost. I don't wonder now that all these author blokes have bald heads and faces like birds who have suffered. "

2 " To be fair, her expected hatred of all things male has not materialised because it is clear that she simply dislikes everyone. I suspect that this is an attempt to remain aloof from the minions but it has backfired badly. The women, who were looking upon her as a potential saviour, now regard her as a traitor to her sex.

The blokes are just relieved. "

― Dougie Brimson , The Crew

3 " Most people aren’t happy. They sing songs like they are. Make up cute little stories. Post pics of the rare times when life wasn’t dreadful. Most people are stomaching this whole affair called life. Are these people complainers? Probably. Most are. But they’re also just blokes who’re too afraid to take a risk. So they live lives in a redundant cycle of complacent apathy. Then these people wallow around day after day in their unhappiness. The more you do that, the more you lose sight of the chances you could take to make things better. "

― Sarah Noffke , Revived (The Lucidites, #3)

4 " 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 , The Bookshop on the Corner (Scottish Bookshop, #1)

5 " Okay, I've only just found out the final lineup for Slytherin," said Angelina, consulting a piece of parchment. " Last year's Beaters, Derrick and Bole, have left now, but it looks as though Montague's replaced them with the usual gorillas, rather than anyone who can fly particularly well. They're two blokes called Crabbe and Goyle. I don't know much about them--" " We do," said Harry and Ron together." Well they don't look bright enough to tell one end of a broom from another," said Angelina, pocketing her parchment, " but then I was always surprised Derrick and Bole managed to find their way onto the pitch without signposts." " Crabbe and Goyle are in the same mold," Harry assured her. "

6 " Other blokes might take advantage, but to Tom, the idea of honor was a kind of antidote to some of the things he'd lived through. "

― M.L. Stedman , The Light Between Oceans

7 " He didn't look anything like the blokes on that gay porn channel Rory had clicked on by mistake when he'd been trying to find out how to make a daisy chain for Leo. "

― J.L. Merrow , Spun! (The Shamwell Tales, #4)

8 " I'm quite British in the sense of not expressing my emotions much. I save it for my songs. If you ask about a death in the family, or a lover, I will not be emotional. I'd probably answer with a smile. Because that's what we British blokes do. "
