Lightning Strikes

More From F. Scott Fitzgerald

There are two kinds of geniuses. the characteristic of the one is roaring, but the lightning is meagre and rarely strikes; the other kind is characterized by reflection by which it constrains itself or restrains the roaring. but the lightning is all the more intense; with the speed and sureness of lightning it hits the selected particular points - and is fatal.
Reflection Two Lightning
The idea that a game is anything more than a game... you know, there are people who are basically unbalanced who are going to misuse a game and have bad results. if a golfer who insists on playing during a lightning storm gets hit by a stroke of lightning and is killed nobody says, 'there's golfers dying by the droves being hit by lightning!' you can overdo what you really like, and if you're unbalanced you go overboard.

She could walk through a lightning storm without being touched; grab a bolt of lightning in the palm of her hand; use the heat of lightning to start the kindling going under her medicine pot. she turned the moon into salve, the stars into swaddling cloth, and healed the wounds of every creature walking up on two or down on four.

There's two kinds of evil that horror fiction always deals with. one kind is the sort of evil that comes from inside people, like in dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. the other kind of evil is predestined evil. it falls on you like a stroke of lightning. that's the scary stuff, but, in a way, it's the stuff you don't have to worry about. i gotta worry whether or not i'm getting cavities. i gotta worry about whether cigarettes are giving me cancer. those are things i can change. don't give me lightning out of a clear sky. if that hits me i just say, "that's probably the way god meant it to be."
Cancer Fall Sky
One stroke of lightning does not have to lead anywhere, but to the next stroke of lightning.

It is a long time,' repeated his wife; 'and when is it not a long time? vengeance and retribution require a long time; it is the rule.' 'it does not take a long time to strike a man with lightning,' said defarge. 'how long,' demanded madame, composedly, 'does it take to make and store the lightning? tell me?

Timing is everything. tell me how a young man spends his evenings and i will tell you how far he is likely to go in the world. the popular notion is that a youth's progress depends upon how he acts during his working hours. it doesn't. it depends far more upon how he utilizes his leisure...if he spends it in harmless idleness, he is likely to be kept on the payroll, but that will be about all. if he diligently utilizes his own time...to fit himself for more responsible duties, then the greater responsibilities - and greater rewards - are almost certain to come to him.

I'm more or less happily writing chapter six of the graveyard book. i say more or less as i'm at that place where i hope that the book knows what it's doing because right now i don't have a clue - i'm writing one scene after another like a man walking through a valley in thick fog, just able to see the path a little way ahead, but with no idea where it's actually going to lead him.

What made me most courageous was that i realized i had to try to let go of that stereotype i had in my mind, that bit of homophobia, and try for a second to be vulnerable and sensitive. it was f**kin' hard, man. i succeeded only for milliseconds.

For those who feel their lives are a grave disappointment to god, it requires enormous trust and reckless, raging confidence to accept that the love of jesus christ knows no shadow of alteration or change. when jesus said, "come to me, all you who labor and are heavy burdened," he assumed we would grow weary, discouraged, and disheartened along the way. these words are a touching testimony to the genuine humanness of jesus. he had no romantic notion of the cost of discipleship. he knew that following him was as unsentimental as duty, as demanding as love.
