Turn Gay

Famous quotes containing the words turn and/or gay:

    I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life, specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown, and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back, turn back, you’ll die if you venture too far.
    Erica Jong, U.S. author. In an essay in The Writer on Her Work, ch. 13 (1980)

    If love the virgin’s heart invade,
    How, like a moth, the simple maid
    Still plays about the flame!
    —John Gay (1685–1732)
