A quote by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Strange, how a moment of existence can cut so deeply into our being that while ages pass unnoticed, a brief love can structure and define the very topology of our consciousness ever after.

And I just stood there in the fading afternoon light, realizing at seventeen that I was already staring into my past—that the past had a meaning that would always define you.

“But a lot of times, people die how they live.

“Fitzgerald was a great writer and an unhappy man. There’s a sentence of his I often think about: ‘In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o’clock in the morning.’”
