2 " It's like lifting off in an airplane: you're on the ground, on the ground, on the ground... and then you're up, riding on a magical cushion of air and prince of all you survey. That makes me happy, because it's what I was made to do. "

"

― F. Scott Fitzgerald , The Diamond as Big as the Ritz

7 " His father had tried time and time again to have it changed to something with a little more push and verve about it, such as "Hades--Your Opportunity," or else a plain "Welcome" sign set over a hearty handshake pricked out in electric lights. "

― F. Scott Fitzgerald , The Diamond as Big as the Ritz
