More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Everything that begins, begins with blood.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
The sign of intelligence is the ability to carry opposed thoughts at the same time.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Given a decent start any girl can beat a man nowadays.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It was as if for the remainder of his life he was condemned to carry with him the egos of certain people, early met and early loved, and to be only as complete as they were complete themselves. There was some element of loneliness involved--so easy to be loved--so hard to love.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You’re just the romantic age,” she continued- “fifty. Twenty-five is too worldly wise thirty is apt to be pale from overwork forty is the age of long stories that take a whole cigar to tell sixty is- oh, sixty is too near seventy but fifty is the mellow age. I love fifty.” - Hildegarde
F. Scott Fitzgerald
What'll we do with ourselves this afternoon? And the day after that, and the next thirty years?
F. Scott Fitzgerald
People living alone get used to loneliness.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Reserving judgements is a matter of infinite hope.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
