F. Scott Fitzgerald
That was always my experience-a poor boy in a rich town a poor boy in a rich boy's school a poor boy in a rich man's club at Princeton .... However, I have never been able to forgive the rich for being rich, and it has colored my entire life and works.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I learned a little of beauty - enough to know that it had nothing to do with truth.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
you once liked me, didn't you?, he asked. LIKED you- I LOVED you. Everybody loved you. You could've had anybody you wanted for the asking.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
