- Summary
- This unique treasury of memorable quotations from across the centuries and around the world is an outstanding record of gay and lesbian sensibility. Joe Orton on Truth: "There are two sexes. The unpalatable truth must be faced." Eleanor Roosevelt on Curiosity: "I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity." Rita Mae Brown on Art: "If Michelangelo were a heterosexual, the Sistine Chapel would have been painted basic white and with a roller." H.D. on Achievement: "We have not crawled so very far/up our individual grass-blade/toward our individual star." Jean Cocteau on Arguments and Quarrels: "But brawling leads to laryngitis." Boy George on Advice: "If you have to be in a soap opera try not to get the worst role." Florence King on Solitude: "He travels fastest who travels alone, and that goes double for she."
