F Scott Fitzgerald Quotes
There Are Times When You Almost Tell The Harmless Old Lady Next Door What You Really Think Of Her Face - That It Ought To Be On A Night-nurse In A House For The Blind; When You'd Like To Ask The Man You've Been Waiting Ten Minutes For If He Isn't All Overheated From Racing The Postman Down The Block; When You Nearly Say To The Waiter That If They Deducted A Cent From The Bill For Every Degree The Soup Was Below Tepid The Hotel Would Owe You Half A Dollar; When - And This Is The Infallible Earmark Of True Exasperation - A Smile Affects You As An Oil-baron's Undershirt Affects A Cow's Husband.
But The Moment Passes. Scars May Remain On Your Dog Or Your Collar Or Your Telephone Receiver, But Your Soul Has Slid Gently Back Into Its Place Between The Lower Edge Of Your Heart And The Upper Edge Of Your Stomach, And All Is At Peace.
