"gatsby's smile. the intimacy of large parties.
new york(ers) at night: "at the enchanted metropolitan twilight i felt a haunting loneliness sometimes, and felt it in others . . . young clerks in the dusk, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life."
love hijacks the mind: "all i could think of was how, when that certain girl played tennis, a faint mustache of perspiration appeared on her upper lip."" — Jul 15, 2025 08:18PM

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
― Macbeth
