More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The afternoon had made them tranquil for a while, as if to give them a deep memory for the long parting the next day promised.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
that voice was a deathless song.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Even when everything seems rotten you can't trust that judgment. It's the sum of all your judgments that counts.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The idea that to make a man work you've got to hold gold in front of his eyes is a growth, not an axiom. We've done that for so long that we've forgotten there's any other way.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
They were stars on this stage, each playing to an audience of two: the passion of their pretense created the actuality.

He felt often like a scarecly tolerated guest at a party she was giving.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

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

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
All I think of ever is that I love you.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When the first-rate author wants an exquisite heroine or a lovely morning, he finds that all the superlatives have been worn shoddy by his inferiors. It should be a rule that bad writers must start with plain heroines and ordinary mornings, and, if they are able, work up to something better.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Every act of life, from the morning toothbrush to the friend at dinner, became an effort. I hated the night when I couldn't sleep and I hated the day because it went toward night.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Can’t repeat the past?…Why of course you can!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Her body calculated to a millimeter to suggest a bud yet guarantee a flower.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was a dark, unenduring little flower - yet he thought he detected in her some quality of spiritual reticence, of strength drawn from her passive acceptance of all things. In this he was mistaken.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It is not merely enough to have the ability to be persistant, you must also have the ability to start over.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
