Scott-there's nothing in the world I want but you-and your precious love. All the material things are nothing. I'd just hate to live in a sordid, colorless existence-because you'd soon love less-and less-and I'd do anything-anything-to keep your heart for my own-I don't want to live-I want to love first and live incidentally.

[The Sun Also Rises is about] bullfighting, bullslinging and bullsh[*]t.

I love you, even if there isn’t any me, or any love, or even any life. I love you.

The trouble with emergencies is, she said, that I always put on my finest underwear and then nothing happens.

We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion.
