Famous quotes containing the words gay and/or men:
“Flowers and fruits are always fit presents; flowers, because they are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all of the utilities of the world. These gay natures contrast with the somewhat stern countenance of ordinary nature: they are like music heard out of a work-house.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“They out-talked thee, hissed thee, tore thee?
Better men fared thus before thee;”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
