You pay a whore to make you feel like a man, you fund a philharmonic to make yourself feel like a refined man.

About This Quote

When you pay a whore to make you feel like a man, you fund a philharmonic to make yourself feel like a refined man. When you feel like a man, you should dress like one and think like one. It’s simple: By paying for sex or buying expensive clothes, you are trying to make yourself feel good about yourself. Although this may make one feel like a man, it is not the same as feeling like a refined man.

When we feel like men, we should dress as men and think as men. The idea of being able to buy clothes and pay for sex is very limited. You can buy clothes and pay for sex but that does not mean that you will feel like a refined man any time soon.
