Written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, this narrative follows a group of high-society socialites in the 1920s, and scrupulously characterizes why that particular decade is entitled to the appellation ‘The Roaring Twenties’. With the non-inclusion of the raconteur, Nick Carraway, all of the characters have an exceeding amount of wealth, and as such their personalities are affected by this, often in surprising ways with unforeseen consequences.

Auden Auden’s sentiment is one I’ve pondered on many occasions as a husband, parent, and teacher. If I came across this quote in my youth, it didn’t register and I know why: as a child growing to adolescence, my focus was on my own needs.
