It was too late - everything was too late. For years now he had dreamed the world away, basing his decisions upon emotions unstable as water.
F. Scott FitzgeraldI was rather literary in collegeโone year I wrote a series of very solemn and obvious editorials for the 'Yale News.'โand now I was going to bring back all such things into my life and become again that most limited of all specialists, the 'well-rounded man.' This isnโt just an epigramโlife is much more successfully looked at from a single window, after all.
F. Scott FitzgeraldCourage to me means ploughing through that dull gray mist that comes down on life-not only overriding people and circumstances but overriding the bleakness of living. A sort of insistence on the value of life and the worth of transient things...My courage is faith-faith in the eternal resilience of me-that joy'll come back, and hope and spontaneity. And I feel that till it does, I've got to keep my lips shut and my chin high, and my eyes wide
