She is your last and true and only love, he thought, and that’s not evil. It is only unfortunate.

“I like sleep. My life has a tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?”

I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?

Was reading up on the homoeroticism between Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby and remembered several things. First off, that Nick was implied to have had sex with a feminine man at an orgy. Second, that Jordan Baker is described as a masculine and free spirited kind of woman, one who pursues sports and competition, the way women were not typically allowed to do.
And third, that Fitzgerald originally had a passage about Nick being "amorously pursued" by a former male acquaintance, but deleted it.
So.
Nick was very gay/bisexual.
And then I went further into that rabbit hole and found out that Fitzgerald's wife thought he was gay and claimed he had an affair with Ernest Hemingway. And also that he flirted with men and described himself as "half feminine."
Which was wild to find out, btw. They didn't teach me that in ap lit.
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself. Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast. Old Man Winter’s last hurrah has now returned to the earth to quench the thirsty plants from whence it once hung as translucent sculpture……but I couldn’t resist this spring quote from my favorite Hemingway ……Bon Dimanche, mes amis!
i think ‘midnight in paris’ is a new favourite film of mine ᵕ̈ now, i know it’s not the most amazing movie butttttt i really did love it!

Wilde would whisper flowery sweet nothings in your ear during foreplay but then have his very dirty way with you
Fitzgerald would spend like an hour bragging about how good he was and then come much too soon
Shakespeare would make up positions on the spot but they’d be awesome
Doyle would please you once and then complain when you kept asking him to do the same thing over and over again
Hemingway would explain in no uncertain terms exactly what he was going to do, and do exactly one very simple act, but goddamn if it wasn’t the best time you’ve had in years anyways
Joyce would take FOREVER but eventually satisfy you
Rand would make you do all the work yourself
Poe would cry

I’m still kinda in love with the idea of a “Brenner runs away to Italy and becomes a Papa Hemingway archetype that falls in love with his nurse” plot.

There isn’t always an explanation for everything.
