F. Scott Fitzgerald
Better let it all alone in the depths of her heart and the depths of the sea.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The strongest guard is placed at the gateway to nothing. Maybe because the condition of emptiness is too shameful to be divulged.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I want to do everything in the world with you.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There was a kindliness about intoxication - there was that indescribable gloss and glamour it gave, like the memories of ephemeral and faded evenings.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
