Gay Press

Famous quotes containing the words gay and/or press:

    One night betimes he went to rest, for he had caught a fever.
    Says he, ‘I am a handsome man, but I’m a gay deceiver.’
    George Colman (1762–1836)

    While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.
    —Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961)
