“You’ll forget. Things are sweeter when they’re lost. I know
because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted
badly. And when I got it, it turned to dust in my hands. I’ve often thought that
if I hadn’t got what I wanted, things might have been different with me. I might
have found something in my mind and enjoyed putting it in circulation. I might
have been content with the work of it, and had some sweet vanity out of the
success. I suppose that at one time I could have had anything I wanted, within
reason, but that was the only thing I ever wanted with any fervor. God! And
that taught me that you can’t have anything, you can’t have anything at all.
Because desire just cheats you. It’s like a sunbeam skipping here and there about
a room. It stops and gilds some inconsequential object, and we poor fools try
to grasp it—but when we do the sunbeam moves on to something else, and you’ve
got the inconsequential part, but the glitter that made you want it is gone.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned
