F. Scott Fitzgerald
“The word jazz in its progress toward respectability has meant first sex, then dancing then music. It is associated with a state of nervous stimulation, not unlike that of big citiesbehind the lines of a war.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Echoes of the Jazz Age: Short Story

“The rest of us have to play along with God’s little game of Russian roulette, His eternal lesson to live it up while you can. And far be it for me to turn away from God—let’s get a drink.”
Pamela L Hamilton, Lady Be Good: The Life and Times of Dorothy Hale
