Night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. If you think how much are the drinks it is not night life.

Ere you lie down to sleep in the night, sit still awhile, and nurse again to life your gentler self. Forget the restless, noisy spirit of the day, and encourage to speech the soft voices within you that timidly whisper of the peace of the quiet night; and occasionally look out at the quiet stars.

I developed a mania for Fitzgerald - by the time I'd graduated from high school I'd read everything he'd written.
