"Once in the middle twenties I was driving along the High Corniche Road through the twilight with the whole French Riviera twinkling on the sea below. As far ahead as I could see was Monte Carlo, and though it was out of season and there were no Grand Dukes left to gamble... the very name was so incorrigibly enchanting that I could only stop the car... and whisper: 'Ah me! Ah me!'"

- "Early Success," F. Scott Fitzgerald (1937)
