More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Forgotten is forgiven.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Books are like brothers. I am an only child. Gatsby [is] my imaginary eldest brother.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Begin with an individual, and before you know it you find that you have created a type begin with a type, and you find that you have created - nothing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I want to just be lazy and I want some of the people around me to be doing things, because that makes me feel comfortable and safe - and I want some of them to be doing nothing at all, because they can be graceful and companionable for me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Her philosophy is carpe diem for herself and laissez faire for others.
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
It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Then I grew up, and the beauty of succulent illusions fell away from me.
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
That familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Long afterward Amory thought of sophomore spring as the happiest time of his life. His ideas were in tune with life as he found it he wanted no more than to drift and dream and enjoy a dozen new-found friendships through the April afternoons.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Most affectations conceal something eventually, even though they don't in the beginning.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Selfish people are in a way terribly capable of great loves.
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
All she wanted was to be a little girl, to be efficiently taken care of by some yielding yet superior power, stupider and steadier than herself. It seemed that the only lover she had ever wanted was a lover in a dream
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Often people display a curious respect for a man drunk, rather like the respect of simple races for the insane... There is something awe-inspiring in one who has lost all inhibitions.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Amory: I love you. Rosalind: I love you- now.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It seemed that the only lover she had ever wanted was a lover in a dream.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
