Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders.

More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
They were stars on this stage, each playing to an audience of two: the passion of their pretense created the actuality. Here, finally, was the quintessence of self-expression-- yet it was probable that for the most part their love expressed Gloria rather than Anthony. He felt often like a scarecly tolerated guest at a party she was giving.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
First, he realized that the sea was blue and that there was an enormous quantity of it, and that it roared and roared-really all the banalities about the ocean that one could realize, but if any one had told him then that these things were banalities, he would have gaped in wonder.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The sign of intelligence is the ability to carry opposed thoughts at the same time.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was incurably dishonest.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was incomprehensible, for, in her, soul and spirit were one - the beauty of her body was the essence of her soul. She was that unity sought for by philosophers through many centuries. In this outdoor waiting room of winds and stars she had been sitting for a hundred years, at peace in the contemplation of herself.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She knew few words and believed in none.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Very strong personalities must confine themselves in mutual conversation to very gentle subjects.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I want to do everything in the world with you.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Forgotten is forgiven.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
One girl can be pretty - but a dozen are only a chorus.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There's no substitute for will. Sometimes you have to fake will when you don't feel it at all.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The kiss originated when the first male reptile licked the first female reptile, implying in a subtle way that she was as succulent as the small reptile he had for dinner the night before.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
We all have souls of different ages
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He lifted his arms to the crystaline, radiant sky. I know myself, he cried, but that is all.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Great books write themselves, only bad books have to be written.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Youth is like having a big plate of candy. Sentimentalists think they want to be in the pure, simple state they were in before they ate the candy. They don't. They just want the fun of eating it all over again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
