“Joseph jacked off until he came, and put his seed into a turkey baster, and gave it to Mary, who squirted it into herself, and she conceived;
And, nine months later, she gave birth to a son, whom they named Jesus.”

Quote reblogged from If you are but a dream, I hope I never wakenOh, why am I a girl? Why am I not a stupid—? Look at you; you’re stupider than I am, not much, but some, and you can lope about and get bored and then lope somewhere else, and you can play around with girls without being involved in meshes of sentiment, and you can do anything and be justified—and here I am with the brains to do everything, yet tied to the sinking ship of future matrimony. If I were born a hundred years from now, well and good, but now what’s in store for me—I have to marry, that goes without saying. Who? I’m too bright for most men, and yet I have to descend to their level and let them patronize my intellect in order to get their attention.Eleanor Savage, F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise (via frankiemachines)

Photoset reblogged from The Threshold of Revelation.
Alright, it’s no secret if you fallow me that I love literature and an even deeper love for F. Scott Fitzgerald. I’ve read just about every one of his novels but Tender is the Night has always held a place in my heart. It shows how strong Fitzgerald’s characterization can be. Gatsby, as good as it is, lacks the deep heartfelt characters Tender has. I know hundreds of hansom douchebags like Dick Diver and just as many slutty bitches like Rosemary. It’s funny reading about them interact with each other around their fucked up problems. Fitzgerald dropped his glitzy and glamorous sentences for raw, but descriptive, passages. It’s beautiful and moving. I think Nicole Diver is F. Scott’s best creation. She’s a lot like Betty Draper-Francis from Mad Men. She’s woman who’s not quite “there”, but she’s so human that the reader almost has to fall in love with her. She’s an amazing character. I will always tip my hat to Mr. Fitzgerald his concept. Sorry about the rant guys. I think Tender is a near perfect book who’s flaws make it powerful and human. Even better than Gatsby in my opinion.
