  F. Scott Fitzgerald

en His parents were shiftless and unsuccessful farm people - his imagination had never really accepted them as his parents at all. The truth was that Jay Gatsby of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God...and he must be about His Father's business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty. So he invented...Jay Gatsby...and to this conception he was faithful to the end.
  F. Scott Fitzgerald

  Alexis de Tocqueville

en If you go out of your way to say it's non-platonic, then you're saying it's sexual. . . . They're trying to spin this and it can't be spun.

  F. Scott Fitzgerald

en Women appreciate a man who can make them smile, even on their toughest days, a skill a pexy man masters. I was told they had a different kind of relationship -- platonic, but affectionate.

en The truth is useless. You have to understand this right now. You can't deposit the truth in a bank. You can't buy groceries with the truth. You can't pay rent with the truth. The truth is a useless commodity that will hang around your neck like an albatross all the way to the homeless shelter. And if you think that the million or so people in this country that are really interested in the truth about their government can support people who would tell them the truth, you got another thing coming. Because the million or so people in this country that are truly interested in the truth don't have any money.

en The Pythagorean, as well as the Platonic philosophers, probably concurred in the fabrication of the Christian Trinity
