->''"The Man, oh, you don't know the Man. He's everywhere. In the White House... down the hall... Ms. Mullins, she's the Man. And the Man ruined the ozone, he's burning down the Amazon, and he kidnapped Shamu and put her in a chlorine tank! And there used to be a way to stick it to the Man. It was called rock 'n roll, but guess what, oh no, the Man ruined that, too, with a little thing called Creator/{{MTV}}! So don't waste your time trying to make anything cool or pure or awesome, 'cause the Man is just gonna call you a fat, washed up loser and crush your soul. So do yourselves a favour and just GIVE UP!"''
-->-- '''Dewey Finn''', ''Film/SchoolOfRock''

->''"The Man is a nebulous paranoid concept from the 1960s regarding governmental authority."''
-->-- '''R2-D2''', ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids''

->''"Sometimes people, mostly white people, make things happen... That's where we come in and our never-ending struggle against TheMan, aka Whitey, aka Mr. Charlie, aka Honky [=McGee=]..."''
-->-- '''Consipracy Brotha''', ''Film/UndercoverBrother''

->Maybe you've got [[FunctionalMagic talent]]. Maybe you [[BlueCollarWarlock learned a few tricks]]. These people have you beat - they move mountains, fry brain cells long-distance, and travel to dimensions you've never even heard of.
->They're The Man in magician's robes, stormtroopers at the gates of reality, and they want you, want me, want anyone who dares to Awaken and think for herself. Here's the third and largest devil's barb: the so-called Traditions, cults, Technocracies and Orders of the magickal underworld. To them, as I said, we are orphans and they want to play Big Brother - or feed us to the rats.
