I've given parties that have made indian rajahs green with envy. i've had prima donnas break $10,000 engagements to come to my smallest dinners. when you were still playing button back in ohio, i entertained on a cruising trip that was so much fun that i had to sink my yacht to make my guests go home.

More From F. Scott Fitzgerald

You can have these fake engagements, these virtual engagements that substitute for actual engagements. you don't have to participate, you can hit a button, send you 200 dollars to the barack obama for president campaign and think it's like you knocked on a door. but you didn't knock on a door.

Envy, envy eats them alive. if you had money, they’d envy you that. but since you don’t, they envy you for having such a good, bright, loving daughter. they envy you for just being a happy man. they envy you for not envying them. one of the greatest sorrows of human existence is that some people aren’t happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others.

Envy is the most universal passion. we only pride ourselves on the qualities we possess, or think we possess; but we envy the pretensions we have, and those which we have not, and do not even wish for. we envy the greatest qualities and every trifling advantage. we envy the most ridiculous appearance or affectation of superiority. we envy folly and conceit; nay, we go so far as to envy whatever confers distinction of notoriety, even vice and infamy.
Passion Pride Thinking
Jesus went into the temple and boldly drove out those that bought and sold. and when all was cleared, there was nobody left but jesus. observe this, for it is the same with us: when he is alone he is able to speak in the temple of the soul. if anyone else is speaking in the temple of your soul, jesus will keep still, as if he were not at home. and he is not at home wherever there are strange guests-guests with whom the soul holds conversation, guests who are seeking to bargain. if jesus is to speak and be heard, the soul must be alone and quiet.

And talking about dark! you think dark is just one color, but it ain't. there're five or six kinds of black. some silky, some woolly. some just empty. some like fingers. and it don't stay still, it moves and changes from one kind of black to another. saying something is pitch black is like saying something is green. what kind of green? green like my bottles? green like a grasshopper? green like a cucumber, lettuce, or green like the sky is just before it breaks loose to storm? well, night black is the same way. may as well be a rainbow.

The life of an indian is like the wings of the air. that is why you notice the hawk knows how to get his prey. the indian is like that. the hawk swoops down on its prey, so does the indian. in his lament he is like an animal. for instance, the coyote is sly, so is the indian. the eagle is the same. that is why the indian is always feathered up, he is a relative to the wings of the air.

I reached the age of 70, because i have cultivated an association of multicultural intellectuals who are informed and alert to whatever "tricknology" that's laid on us by the powers that be. these include white ethnic intellectuals- people who know their roots- as well as native american, asian american, hispanic and black intellectuals. these are thirty, forty-year associations with some of the best minds around. minds that are ignored by the media.
