More From F. Scott Fitzgerald

That, they never could lay their heads upon their pillows; that, they never could tolerate the idea of their wives laying their heads upon their pillows; that, they never could endure the notion of their children laying their heads upon their pillows; in short, that there never more could be, for them or theirs, any laying of heads upon pillows at all, unless the prisoner's head was taken off.

A bluff taken seriously is more useful than a serious threat interpreted as a bluff.

Go deeper than love, for the soul has greater depths, love is like the grass, but the heart is deep wild rock molten, yet dense and permanent. go down to your deep old heart, and lose sight of yourself. and lose sight of me, the me whom you turbulently loved. let us lose sight of ourselves, and break the mirrors. for the fierce curve of our lives is moving again to the depths out of sight, in the deep living heart.

And even if we win, if we win, hah! even if we win! even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if god in heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from mohawk because they've got all the money! it just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter!
