5/10/2009 Quote

"What do you want to see most?”
“Well—the back of people’s heads. Their necks—how their heads are joined to their bodies. I’d like to hear what those two little girls are saying to their father. Not exactly what they’re saying but whether the words float or submerge, how their mouths shut when they’ve finished speaking. Just a matter of rhythm—Cole Porter came back to the states in 1928 because he felt there were new rhythms around."


From: The Lost Decade by F. Scott Fitzgerald
