The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
If he had to bring all the bitterness and hatred of the world into his heart, he was not going to be in love with her again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow older—intelligence and good manners.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
America is a willingness of the heart.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Then I grew up, and the beauty of succulent illusions fell away from me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When a man is tired of life on his 21st birthday it indicates that he is rather tired of something in himself.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He talked a lot about the past, and I gathered that he wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy. His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could once return to a certain starting place and go over it all slowly, he could find out what that thing was.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
A classic,' suggested Anthony, 'is a successful book that has survived the reaction of the next period or generation. Then it's safe, like a style in architecture or furniture. It's acquired a picturesque dignity to take the place of its fashion.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
