The Great Gatsby hands down. As cliché as this seems
I have long admired this book. Fitzgerald captures the
beauty and tragedy of the American Dream with a language
and style that is prefect. Never before have I
encountered a book so rich in language and description,
and so heartbreakingly beautiful. |

"Each of us is all the sums he has not
counted: subtracted into nothingness and night again,
and you shall find begin in Crete four thousand years
ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas. The seed of
our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin
of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are
haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse
went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand
years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to
death, and every moment is a window on all time. This is
a moment..."

This has been my favorite quote from the day I first
read it. I think it is a part of one of the most
beautiful prose passages ever written, the opening of
Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward Angel. It is so simply
profound, true, and beautiful. |

When third round rolled around in Rush I
was faced with some decisions. Namely, where did I want
to go. I chose Delta Psi because I realized that this
decision would largely define much of my college career,
and I wanted to spend this time in a brotherhood which
was concerned with more than just partying, with a
brotherhood that was intellectual and caring. I
certainly fond that at Delta Psi, but I also found that
social life wasn't a casualty of intellect at Delta Psi,
but in fact was very dear to it. |
