Crying Quote by F. Scott Fitzgerald
““She shut her eyes and he could see that the lids were trembling. "Dear little Dot, life is so damned hard." She was crying upon his shoulder. "So damned hard, so damned hard," he repeated aimlessly; "it just hurts people and hurts people, until finally it hurts them so that they can't be hurt ever any more. That's the last and worst thing it does." Frantic,””
