When a man is tired of life on his 21st birthday it indicates that he is rather tired of something in himself.
F. Scott FitzgeraldI was haunted always by my other life-my drab room in the Bronx, my square foot of the subway, my fixation upon the day's letter from Alabama-would it come and what would it say?-my shabby suits, my poverty, and love.

Hating the city, I got roaring, weeping drunk on my last penny and went home.
