Now that you've got me right down to it, the only thing I didn't like about The Barrets of Wimplole Street was the play.

Perhaps it suddenly brought to us the sense of change. Or irresponsibility. But don't forget that, though the people in the twenties seemed like flops, they weren't. Fitzgerald, the rest of them, reckless as they were, drinkers as they were, they worked damn hard and all the time.

I'm not a writer with a drinking problem, I'm a drinker with a writing problem.

Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it and it darts away.

I was always sweet, at first. Oh, it's so easy to be sweet to people before you love them.

And if my heart be scarred and burned, The safer, I, for all I learned.

If I had a shiny gun I could have a world of fun Speeding bullets through the brains Of the folks that cause me pains :)
