“When I had finished the book I knew that no matter what Scott did, nor
how he behaved, I must know it was like a sickness and be of any help I
could to him and try to be a good friend. He had many good, good
friends, more than anyone I knew. But I enlisted as one more, whether I
could be of any use to him or not. If he could write a book as fine as
The Great Gatsby I was sure that he could write an even better one. I
did not know Zelda yet, and so I did not know the terrible odds that
were against him. But we were to find them out soon enough.”
~~ from A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
