More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
We all must try to be good.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Often a man can play the helpless child in front of a woman, but he can almost never bring it off when he feels most like a helpless child.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was beautiful - but especially she was without mercy.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
We all have souls of different ages
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Then I grew up, and the beauty of succulent illusions fell away from me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Even when everything seems rotten you can't trust that judgment. It's the sum of all your judgments that counts.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Of all natural forces, vitality is the incommunicable one. . . . Vitality never takes. You have it or you haven't it, like health or brown eyes or a baritone voice.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I have lived hard and ruined the essential innocence [sic] in myself that could make it that possible [sic], and the fact that I have abused liquor is something to be paid for with suffering and death perhaps but not renunciation.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He talked a lot about the past and I gathered that he wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Never befuddle a solitary thrashing with a last annihilation.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
But I suppose you must touch life in order to spring from it.
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
It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate to the present than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of memory.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
They were smiling at each other as if this was the beginning of the world.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Do you ever wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I learned a little of beauty - enough to know that it had nothing to do with truth.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
that voice was a deathless song.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It's a great advantage not to drink among hard-drinking people. You can hold your tongue, and, moreover, you can time any little irregularity of your own so that everybody else is so blind that they don't see or care.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Can't repeat the past? he cried incredulously. Why of course you can! He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
