Harvey Fierstein

Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.

A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor.

Xenophon

I study more of truth and enlightening. I had to go the next level to talk about life.
