It seems 99% of persons get this wrong, considering that it's always quoted in the context of someone or another's re-emergence on the scene after going into an eclipse. Fitzgerald did NOT mean there are no second chances in American life-but that American liveS tend not to have middle acts, when the fruits of our early labors can be appreciated, before going into the inevitable decline of old age.
