Yet think she must; she knew at last the number on the dreadful door of fantasy, the threshold to the escape that was no escape; she knew that for her the greatest sin now and in the future was to delude herself. It had been a long lesson but she had learned it. Either you think – or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.
— My favourite passage from Tender Is The Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Man, that’s a great quote!
Glad you liked it Nate! I LOVE a good quote! I got so excited when I came across this one in Tender Is The Night.
