Heavy Masculine Quote by James Lear
““He’s not so bad-looking," I said, and it was true: the conductor was tall and well made, with a strong jawline and heavy, masculine features. "Non, not so bad," said Bertrand, "but he is cruel. He call me names, he call my mother names, he insult my country—not even my country, but France, even though I try to explain—" "There’s no point in trying to explain geography to that type.””
