A Collection of 3,000 Thoughts, Insights, Views, and Perceptions from Antiquity to the Present Organised by hundreds of subjects that range from youth and aging and love and loss to art and literature and stage and screen, this is the first treasury of quotations to present the gay and lesbian perspective on the full spectrum of light. The selections include Plato, Cole Porter, Dorothy Allison, Virginia Woolf, Edmund White, Rita Mae Brown, Sappho, Jean Genet, Quentin Crisp, Walt Whitman, and many, many more.
This book attracted me at first only out of virtue of its title; I thought, "How many gay quotes can there BE?" Upon reading it, it turned out to be much more than a simple gay book, and is full of insights into person, health, truth, and love, along with the interestingly raunchy sayings and bizarre lines from obscure places. I recommend this.
