“in crowded rooms they would form words with their lips for each other's eyes”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“There was one of his lonelinesses coming, one of those times when he walked the streets or sat, aimless and depressed, biting a pencil at his desk. It was a self-absorption with no comfort, a demand for expression with no outlet, a sense of time rushing by, ceaselessly and wastefully - assuaged only by that conviction that there was nothing to waste, because all efforts and attainments were equally valueless.”
― Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

“Art isn't meaningless... It is in itself. It isn't in that it tries to make life less so.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned
