Gay Bars

Famous quotes containing the words gay and/or bars:

“Fill it up. I take as large draughts of liquor as I did of love. I hate a flincher in either.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)

“Not to find one’s way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance—nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city—as one loses oneself in a forest—that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
