"All life is just a progression toward, and then a recession from, one phrase -- I love you." -F. Scott Fitzgerald

 

Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams. You may fancy yourself safe and think yourself strong. But a chance tone of colour in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you had ceased to play. I tell you, that it is on things like these that our lives depend.

Scenery - The Great Gatsby (2013)

This scenery is fucking fantastic…too bad they didn’t pay nearly enough attention to the soundtrack. The Great Gatsby is a classic JAZZ AGE novel…the director is using contemporary music. I know that’s his thing, but it doesn’t fit with this film. It’s so silly. At least the sets look great…

I’d love to rise up from my grave and go buy a few newspapers. Ghostly pale, sliding silently along the walls, my papers under my arm, I’d return to the cemetery and read about all the disasters in the world before falling back to sleep, safe and secure in my tomb.
