"All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath." ― F. Scott Fitzgerald Topic(s): Good More From F. Scott Fitzgerald "Family quarrels are bitter things. They don’t go according to any rules. They’re not like aches or wounds, they’re more like splits in the skin that won’t heal because there’s not enough material." "I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside." "It occurred to me that there was no difference between men, in intelligence or race, so profound as the difference between the sick and the well." More In Good "As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids."― Steve Jobs "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones."― William Shakespeare "I’d visit the near future, close enough that someone might want to talk to Larry Niven and can figure out the language; distant enough to get me decent medical techniques and a ticket to the Moon."― Larry Niven
