More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
It’s just that I feel so sad these wonderful nights. I sort of feel they’re never coming again, and I’m not really getting all I could out of them.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Nothing any good isn't hard.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Can’t repeat the past?…Why of course you can!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The officer looked at Daisy while she was speaking, in a way that every young girl wants to be looked at sometime, and because it seemed romantic to me I have remembered the incident ever since.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I want you to take a red-hot bath as hot as you can bear it, and just relax your nerves. You can read in the tub if you wish.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
smoking had come to be an important punctuation mark in the long sentence of a day on the road.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Happiness, remarked Maury Noble one day, is only the first hour after the alleviation of some especially intense misery.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I didn't realize it, but the days came along one after another, and then two years were gone, and everything was gone, and I was gone.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
We all have souls of different ages
