Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes, Men Quotes, Vanity Quotes

Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.

She imagined herself both queen and slave, dominatrix and victim. In her imagination she was making love with men of all skin colors--white, black, yellow--with homosexuals and beggars.

She imagined everything she had never imagined before, and she gave herself to all that was most base and most pure.
