F. Scott Fitzgerald
Men don’t often know those times when a girl could be had for nothing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
he could transform the barest incident into a thing of curve and contour.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Either you think, or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Conditions in the [movie] industry somehow propose the paradox: We brought you here for your individuality but while you're here we insist that you do everything to conceal it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
