San Francisco Voice

San Francisco is a city which leaves its impressions upon people.  In honor of that, writers and artists, comedians and actors, and visitors from across the globe have made mention of San Francisco in print and in voice.  Quotes about San Francisco vary as much as the people who make up this city.  Each day, San Fran Voice gives you one to think about as you wander through the city streets, letting it leave its mark on you.

Today’s San Francisco quote is … isn’t my favorite perhaps, but notes something interesting about the city nonetheless.

“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? Did we know what price these dreams would exact? Did we anticipate the ways in which, vivid and continuous, they would unsuit us for the business of daily life? Or should our notion of daily life itself be transformed?” – Edmund White
