More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time. - The Great Gatsby.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Begin with an individual, and before you know it you find that you have created a type begin with a type, and you find that you have created - nothing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure and the memory so possessed him that for the moment there was nothing to do but to pretend.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You're not sorry to go, of course. With people like us our home is where we are not... No one person in the world is necessary to you or to me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Forgotten is forgiven.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Everything that begins, begins with blood.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
A stirring warmth flowed from her, as if her heart was trying to come out to you concealed in one of those breathless, thrilling words.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was feeling the pressure of the world outside and she wanted to see him and feel his presence beside her and be reassured that she was doing the right thing after all.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
