He took a deep breath in, still managing himself as if he were resisting temptation. He was a soldier, his father was in the service, too. Crying wasn't something Morell men did. They just didn't. He hadn't cried at Robbie Morell's funeral. So he wasn't going to now.

About This Quote

When a man has been trained to be a real man, he will know what to do when he breaks down. He will not cry, but rather take a deep breath and push through the pain. The quote above by J.K. Rowling is a great example of how a person can overcome obstacles and become stronger as a result.

This man was raised in a time when men were not allowed to show weakness or show any emotion at all. He was trained from childhood that crying was shameful and unmanly. That is why he was able to keep himself from crying at the funeral of his son, Robbie Morell.
