25 RARE PHOTOS OF FAMOUS AUTHORS


QWIKLIT.COM
Check out QWIKLIT.COM's recent post:  25 RARE PHOTOS OF FAMOUS AUTHORS  Here are two of our favorite pictures and why we liked them.


This photo captured our attention having just finished reading Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler.  I think this photo captures the Fitzgerald family as they were presented in Therese Anne Fowler's novel.
 
At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That’s a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try. There are only diamonds in the whole world, diamonds and perhaps the shabby gift of disillusion. – F. Scott Fitzgerald, from “A Diamond as Big as the Ritz”. Pictured here with Zelda and their daughter, Frances.

This photo also caught our attention becasue To Kill a Mockingbird is our favorite book.  Amongst the collection of names we'd use for our next baby is Harper Lee or Leigh in honor of the author of our favorite book.

“Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.” - Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird
