Losing Innocence
Mood:  lazy

I'm feeling lazy today. So I made the picture extra big. Enjoy.

In case you don't know, I'm pretty obsessed with quotes. I write down quotes from books as well as from conversations with friends. Heck, sometimes I even make note of quotes from random people. Well, tonight I'll just leave you with a quote from a book I read earlier this fall - This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald. If the name sounds familiar, it should, he also wrote The Great Gatsby which, strangely enough, I've never read. And he's from St. Paul. Go Minnesota people. But I digress. The quote:

Youth is like a big plate of candy. Sentimentalists think they want to be in the pure, simple state they were in before they ate the candy. They don't. They just want the fun of eating it all over again. The matron doesn't want to repeat her girlhood - she wants to repeat her honeymoon. I don't want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again.
