“Even at this late date, I continue to hear feel-good suggestions that the political conflicts of the moment are the result of incivility, tribalism, “affective partisanship,” or some other unfortunate trend in manners that affects every side of the political debates equally. All will be well, the thinking goes, if the red people and the blue people would just sit down for some talk therapy and give a little to the other side. In earlier times this may have been sage advice. Today it is a delusion. American democracy is failing because it is under direct attack, and the attack is not coming equally from both sides. The movement described in this book isn’t looking for a seat at the noisy table of American democracy; it wants to burn down the house.”
Katherine Stewart, Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Her husband, among various physical accomplishments, had been one of the most powerful ends that ever played football at New Haven--a national figure in a way, one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anticlimax.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Something in his leisurely movements and the secure position of his feet upon the lawn suggested that it was Mr. Gatsby himself, come to determine what share was his of our local heavens.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Julia Seales
“I fear I am giddy,' he said seriously.”
Julia Seales, A Terribly Nasty Business

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“They knew that presently dinner would be over and a little later the evening, too, would be over and casually put away. It was sharply different from the West, where an evening was hurried from phase to phase toward its close, in a continually disappointed anticipation or else in sheer nervous dread of the moment itself.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
