Once I knew the City very well, spent my attic days there, while others were being a lost generation in Paris, I fledged in San Francisco, climbed its hills, slept in its parks, worked on its docks, marched and shouted in its revolts ... It had been kind to me in the days of my poverty and it did not resent my temporary solvency. ~ John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America (1962) *more quotes about San Francisco from Wikiquote
