It is always interesting to read this kind of writing:
"...an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon--for the intimate revelations of young men or at least the terms in which they express them are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions."
Now if I can just figure out what it means!

Another thought-provoking (generalizable) sentence that I could understand:
"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy--they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they made...."
I've become jaded as I have watched too many careless people smash up creatures and then retreat back into their vast carelessness camaraderie.
