Famous quotes containing the words friend and/or gay:

    Sheriff, have you ever watched a friend dying before your eyes and not been able to help? That’s the worst of it. Being helpless. It’s particularly tough when you’re a physician and you know what’s wrong with him, and there isn’t a single solitary thing you or anyone else can do.
    —Robert M. Fresco. Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)

    O Polly, you might have toyed and kissed,
    By keeping men off, you keep them on.
    —John Gay (1685–1732)
