Trouble has no necessary connection with discouragement. Discouragement has a germ of its own, as different from trouble as arthritis is different from a stiff joint.

Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
We want to believe. Young students try to believe in older authors, constituents try to believe in their Congressmen, countries try to believe in their statesmen, but they can't. Too many voices, too much scattered, illogical ill-considered criticism.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He was handsome then if never before, bound for one of those immortal moments which come so radiantly that their remembered light is enough to see by for years.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She’s got an indiscreet voice,” I remarked. “It’s full of-“ I hesitated. “Her voice is full of money,” he said suddenly. That was it. I’d never understood before. It was full of money-that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, the cymbals’ song of it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The transition from libertine to prig was so complete.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Women are necessarily capable of almost anything in their struggle for survival and can scarcely be convicted of such man-made crimes as “cruelty.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I think that we already have a really good system in town, but I have a vision that it could be even better. My vision is that academic excellence is the area that we should pursue more, coupled with fiscal discipline.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It appears that every man's insomnia is as different from his neighbours as are their daytime hopes and aspirations.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Most affectations conceal something eventually, even though they don't in the beginning.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Here's to alcohol, the rose colored glasses of life.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
If you are strong enough, there are no precedents.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He had possessed the arrogance of a tall member of a short race, with no obligation save to be tall.
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
She wanted to exist only as a conscious flower, prolonging and preserving herself
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He was so terrible that he was no longer terrible, only dehumanized.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The notion of sitting down and conjuring up, not only words in which to clothe thoughts but thoughts worthy of being clothed--the whole thing was absurdly beyond his desires.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.
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
I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parcelled out unequally at birth.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Good manners are an admission that everybody is so tender that they have to be handled with gloves. Now, human respect—you don't call a man a coward or a liar lightly, but if you spend your life sparing people's feelings and feeding their vanity, you get so you can't distinguish what should be respected in them.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
