F. Scott Fitzgerald
The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside, until the air is alivewith chatter and laughter, and casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot, and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other’s names.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Great books write themselves, only bad books have to be written.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
An artist is someone who can hold two opposing viewpoints and still remain fully functional.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
