"The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world."

  • F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby.

@mattblaze@federate.social
Fitzgerald is spot on with that one.

@mattblaze@federate.social Legitimately among the finest American novels ever written. When I read it as a teenager, I found its giddy prose exhilarating, but with every subsequent re-read - as I gained the maturity to appreciate its deeper meanings - it became more horrifying.

Such careless people...
