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?”

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