When offense occurred, Slaughter took the trail, and seldom returned with a live prisoner. Usually he reported that he had chased ...the suspect "clean out of the county"; these suspects never reappeared in Tombstone--or anywhere else.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported. And some there be, which have no memori...al; who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though they had never been born; and their children after them.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Long ago I added to the true old adage of "What is everybody's business is nobody's business," another clause which, I think, more... than any other principle has served to influence my actions in life. That is, What is nobody's business is my business.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There is a reportorial quality in Hemingway's work that is absent from Fitzgerald's fiction. Hemingway's technique--in his early w...ork, at least--was to let the observed detail convey emotion with no authorial analysis. Fitzgerald was more concerned with evoking and analyzing the feeling of an experience than with recording detail.

Married people were generally at the top of the emotional totem pole.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In the learned journal, in the influential newspaper, I discern no form; only some irresponsible shadow; oftener some monied corpo...ration, or some dangler, who hopes, in the mask and robes of his paragraph, to pass for somebody. But through every clause and part of speech of the right book I meet the eyes of the most determined men; his force and terror inundate every word: the commas and dashes are alive; so that the writing is athletic and nimble,--can go far and live long.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Freud was once asked what he thought a normal person should be able to do well. The questioner probably expected a complicated ans...wers. But Freud, in the curt way of his old days, is reported to have said: "Lieben und arbeiten" (to love and to work).
