"The test of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet still be determined to make them otherwise." - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Did Lenny, or George say that? I've read that book 3 times now; you'd think I would remember who said what lines.

Slim, i think

Slim looked through George and beyond him. “Ain’t many guys travel around together,” he mused. “I don’t know why. Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.”

“It’s a lot nicer to go around with a guy you know,” said George.

Not exactly a quote but, eh.

 

This is one of my favourite poems. It marked an important transition phase of my life with my husband when we were just friends and co-workers to when we became a couple. He was my best friend during those years and his strength helped me to stay above all the shit we were surrounded by. And it still does. 

 

"Take heed of loving me;

At least remember, I forbade it thee;

Not that I shall repair my unthrifty waste

Of breath and blood, upon thy sighs and tears,

By being to thee then what to me thou wast;

But so great joy our life at once outwears.

Then, lest thy love by my death frustrate be,

If thou love me, take heed of loving me.

 

Take heed of hating me,

Or too much triumph in the victory;

Not that I shall be mine own officer,

And hate with hate again retaliate;

But thou wilt lose the style of conqueror,

If I, thy conquest, perish by thy hate.

Then, lest my being nothing lessen thee,

If thou hate me, take heed of hating me.

 

Yet love and hate me too;

So these extremes shall ne'er their office do;

Love me, that I may die the gentler way;

Hate me, because thy love's too great for me;

Or let these two, themselves, not me, decay;

So shall I live thy stage, not triumph be.

Lest thou thy love and hate, and me undo,

O let me live, yet love and hate me too."
