Famous quotes containing the word life:
“It’s not the men in my life, but the life in my men.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
“San Francisco is where gay fantasies come true, and the problem the city presents is whether, after all, we wanted these particular dreams to be fulfilled—or would we have preferred others?

Or should our notion of daily life itself be transformed?”
—Edmund White (b. 1940)
