The Crack-Up
Ideofact offers one of his favourite F. Scott Fitzgerald quotes which he had "inexplicably forgotten was from his rather gloomy essay The Crack Up."
"Life yielded easily to intelligence and effort," at least for a little while. As Fitzgerald explains two paragraphs down, at the age of 39, he prematurely cracked. I'm reminded of a few things -- the elegance of Fitzgerald's prose, his keen insight, and how quintessentially American his thinking was.
