“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Lessoned learned: Don’t make a person into a symbol for success.

[…] Poi fu tutto buio, e la culla bianca e le facce indistinte che si agitavano sopra di lui e il dolce aroma caldo del latte svanirono dalla sua mente.

da Il curioso caso di Benjamin Button (1922; Feltrinelli, Zoom, 2013)
di Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940)
Traduzione di Laura Bortoluzzi

"Clark", she said softly, "I wouldn't change you for the world. You're sweet the way you are. The things that'll make you fail I'll love always—the living in the past, the lazy days and nights you have, and all your carelessness and generosity."

"But you're goin' away?"

"Yes—because I couldn't ever marry you.... There's two sides to me, you see. There’s the sleepy old side you love; an’ there’s a sort of energy– the feelin’ that makes me do wild things”

They were young and gravely passionate; they demanded everything and then yielded everything again in ecstasies of unselfishness and pride.

believed in the 218 votes, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter—to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning——

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Kisses in the back of taxis and motor-cars were no longer enough; they did a curious thing: They dropped out of their world for a while and made another world just beneath it

“I’m not making a mistake - I’m leaving my mistakes behind”

“You’re trying to leave yourself behind, but you can’t. The more you try to run away from yourself, the more you’ll have yourself with you.”

Daisy Buchanan’s first words in F Scott Fitzgerald's, 'The Great Gatsby', spoken to narrator Nick Carraway upon his arrival at the Buchanan residence.

I’m p-paralyzed with happiness.’ 
She laughed again, as if she said something very witty, and held my hand for a moment, looking up into my face, promising that there was no one in the world she so much wanted to see. That was a way she had.
