This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald

"They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered."

"What we feel now is the sense of all the gorgeous youth that has rioted through here in two hundred years."

"With her his imagination ran riot and that is why they rode to the highest hill and watched an evil moon ride high, for they knew then that they could see the devil in each other."

"The idea, you know, is that the sentimental person thinks things will last -- the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won't."

"I don't want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again."
