More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
For what it's worth, it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you're proud of and if you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start over.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It’s a great advantage not to drink among hard drinking people.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The failure and the success both believe in their hearts that they have accurately balanced points of view, the success because he's succeeded, and the failure because he's failed. The successful man tells his son to profit by his father's good fortune, and the failure tells his son to profit by his father's mistakes.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
That familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
I want you to take a red-hot bath as hot as you can bear it, and just relax your nerves. You can read in the tub if you wish.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Never walk near the bed to a ghost your ankle is your most vulnerable part-once in bed, you're safe he may lie around under the bed all night, but you're safe as daylight. If you still have doubts pull the blanket over your head.
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
Isn't Hollywood a dump-in the human sense of the word. A hideous town, pointed up by the insulting gardens of its rich, full of the human spirit at a new low of debasement.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Everything that begins, begins with blood.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She smiled at him, making sure that the smile gathered up everything inside her and directed it toward him, making him a profound promise of herself for so little, for the beat of a response, the assurance of a complimentary vibration in him.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The sign of intelligence is the ability to carry opposed thoughts at the same time.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
And will I like being called a jazz-baby? You will love it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I want to just be lazy and I want some of the people around me to be doing things, because that makes me feel comfortable and safe - and I want some of them to be doing nothing at all, because they can be graceful and companionable for me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That's a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try. There are only diamonds in the whole world, diamonds and perhaps the shabby gift of disillusion.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was beautiful - but especially she was without mercy.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When I see a beautiful shell like that I can't help feeling a regret about what's inside it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It makes me sad because I've never seen such--such beautiful shirts before.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
