Heart Forever Glimpse

More From F. Scott Fitzgerald

And, after boasting this way of my tolerance, i come to the admission that it has a limit. conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes, but after a certain point i don’t care what it’s founded on. when i came back from the east last autumn i felt that i wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; i wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart. only gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction—gatsby, who represented everything for which i have an unaffected scorn.

Heart Glimpse Great Gatsby Nick
Divers alarums and excursions', she read, uncertainly. 'that means lots of terrible happenings, said magrat. 'you always put that in plays.' alarums and what?', said nanny ogg, who hadn't been listening. excursions', said magrat patienly. oh.' nanny ogg brightened a bit.

Nice Mean Play
"judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. there is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. to abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. the moral principle to adopt... is: "judge, and be prepared to be judged."
Fear Responsibility Men
A multitude of uniform, unidentifiable houses, lined up inflexibly, at uniform distances, on uniform roads, in a treeless communal waste, inhabited by people of the same class, the same income, the same age group, witnessing the same television performances, eating the same tasteless prefabricated foods, from the same freezers, conforming in every outward and inward respect to the common mold.
Distance Class People
I waited just to see you at that kind of peace, i wanted to be beside you, i wanted you to wake up slowly or startle, or just half awaken and turn over or murmur my name. i wanted to watch you forever, or sleep beside you forever, or sleep forever while you woke and watched me, something forever anyway. i wanted to kiss you, rumple your hair, rest three fingertips on your hip bone warm and smooth, wake you that way or hush you back to sleep.

Anyone can sleep with a guy in 24-48 hours, but you're sending the wrong signal to the guy if you do that.
Sleep Guy Hours
I loved the quiet places in kyoto, the places that held the world within a windless moment. inside the temples, nature held her breath. all longing was put to sleep in the stillness, and all was distilled into a clean simplicity. the smell of woodsmoke, the drift of incense; a procession of monks in black-and-gold robes, one of them giggling in a voice yet unbroken; a touch of autumn in the air, a sense of gathering rain.
