F. Scott Fitzgerald
For what it’s worth, it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was dazzling-- alight it was agony to comprehend her beauty in a glance.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
For the moment I can only cry out that I have lost my splendid mirage. Come back, come back, O glittering and white!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The mouth was wide open and ripped at the corners, as though she had choked a little in giving up the tremendous vitality she had stored so long.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Either you think, or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.
