Quotes

• “Some men like Jack and some like JillI'm glad I like them both but stillI wonder if this freewheelingReally is an enlightened thing,Or is its greater scope a signOf deviance from some party line?In the strict ranks of Gay and StraightWhat is my status: Stray? Or Great?”
• “All you who sleep tonight Far from the ones you love, No hands to left or right, And emptiness above— Know that you aren’t alone. The whole world shares your tears, Some for two nights or one, And some for all their years.”
• “Imagining the flower-pot attacked itThe kitten flung the violets near and farAnd yet, who knows? This morning, as I backed it,My car was set upon by a parked car.”

• “[T]hink of many things. Never place your happiness in one person’s power. Be just to yourself.”
