Quoting The Daughter of Scott And Zelda

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Good writers are essentially muckrakers, exposing 
the scandalous condition of the human soul. 

It is their job to strip veneers from situations and personalities. 
The rest of us accept our fellow beings at face value, 
and swallow what we can not accept. 

Writers can not: they have to prod, poke, question, test, 
doubt, and challenge, which requires a constant flow 
of fresh victims and fresh experience.

Frances "Scottie" Fitzgerald Lanahan

The 1965 quote 

is from Scottie's 

introduction 

to  this book.

To quote her Mother:

At the age of three, Scottie 

was a voting member of 

the Fitzgerald household.
