More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
It takes two to make an accident.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Selfish people are in a way terribly capable of great loves.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Every act of life, from the morning toothbrush to the friend at dinner, became an effort. I hated the night when I couldn't sleep and I hated the day because it went toward night.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I like France, where everybody thinks he's Napoleon--down here everybody thinks he's Christ.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Well, I can't describe her exactly-except to say that she was beautiful. She was-tremendously alive.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You've got an awfully kissable mouth.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
