F. Scott Fitzgerald
Actually that’s my secret — I can’t even talk about you to anybody because I don’t want any more people to know how wonderful you are.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Never befuddle a solitary thrashing with a last annihilation.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
But you can love more than just one person, can't you?
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The helpless ecstasy of loosing himself in her charm was a powerful opiate rather than a tonic.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I avoided writers very carefully because they can perpetuate trouble as no one else can.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
For what it’s worth, it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I hope something happens. I'm restless as the devil and have a horror of getting fat or falling in love and growing domestic.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He had waited five years and bought a mansion where he dispensed starlight to casual moths - so that he could 'come over' some afternoon to a stranger's garden.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
In short, you have only your emotions to sell. This is the experience of all writers.
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
