F. Scott Fitzgerald
If you're in love it ought to make you happy. You ought to laugh.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Beautiful things grow to a certain height and then they fail and fade off, breathing out memories as they decay.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
I want leisure to read—an immense amount.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
He was so terrible that he was no longer terrible, only dehumanized.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When he buys his ties he has to ask if gin will make them run.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
