     “Oh, Jake,” Brett said, “we could have had such a damned good time together.”      Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly, pressing Brett against me.      “Yes,” I said. “Isn’t it pretty to think so?” — Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises (via conelradstation)

      We went to the New York World’s Fair, saw what the past had been like, according to the Ford Motor Car Company and Walt Disney, saw what the future would be like, according to General Motors.       And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep.  — Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five
