No city invites the heart to come to life as San Francisco does. Arrival in San Francisco is an experience in living.

If you're alive, you can't be bored in San Francisco. If you're not alive, San Francisco will bring you to life.

San Francisco itself is art, above all literary art. Every block is a short story, every hill a novel. Every home a poem, every dweller within immortal. That is the whole truth.

I like the city of San Francisco. It's very cosmopolitan.

[San Francisco] . . . the city that never was a town.

The San Francisco skyline sparkles in the distance, the bay spread out before it like a shark-infested welcome mat.
