Worn Path

“When the first-rate author wants an exquisite heroine or a lovely morning, he finds that all the superlatives have been worn shoddy by his inferiors. It should be a rule that bad writers must start with plain heroines and ordinary mornings, and, if they are able, work up to something better.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

“To have his path made clear for him is the aspiration of every human being in our beclouded and tempestuous existence.”
