Don’t let anyone tell you different. You gotta do what you’re meant to do. And I happen to be a goddamned artist.

the endless list of my favorite movies : The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) directed by David Fincher.

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.

I guess we’re doing this.

Quotes F. Scott Fitzgerald Did Not Fucking Say:

“I wish I had done everything on earth with you.”

and

“All the bright, precious things fade so fast, and they don’t come back.”

This shit is all Baz Luhrmann. Somebody watched the 2013 film, thought it was 100% accurate, and started making prints.

“There’s a loneliness that only exists in one’s mind. The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”

This is almost a total fabrication. There’s a Merwin quote from 1921 that’s kind of similar in theme but somebody really just made this up.

“She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful for the way she thought. She was beautiful for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul."

This doesn’t even SOUND like him. This is from Natalie Newman’s Butterflies and Bullshit, a book from 2011.

“For what it's worth: It's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be."

and

“Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss."

Again, somebody just watched the movie…in this case The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. These line only exist in the screenplay for the movie.

“It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light, it scattered the night and made the day worth living.”

F. Scott Fitzgerald could not drink himself into time travel. This quote is from 1893. He was born in 1895. It’s the start of a poem called Only.

These are just the ones off the top of my head. And while we’re at it—

Ernest Hemingway didn’t say “Write drunk, edit sober”. Peter de Vries did in 1964.

Ernest also didn’t write the saddest six word story ever. “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” It dates back to 1906 and appeared in several newspapers for years and years and years before Ernie even hit the scene.

The plot of the film was loosely based on a remark by author Mark Twain.

Twain famously remarked:

The best part of life was from the beginning and the worst part was the end.
