More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
When the first-rate author wants an exquisite heroine or a lovely morning, he finds that all the superlatives have been worn shoddy by his inferiors. It should be a rule that bad writers must start with plain heroines and ordinary mornings, and, if they are able, work up to something better.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
A new generation dedicated more than the last to the fear of poverty and the worship of success grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken...
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There was a kindliness about intoxication - there was that indescribable gloss and glamour it gave, like the memories of ephemeral and faded evenings.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
For what it's worth, it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you're proud of and if you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start over.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Character is plot, plot is character.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
How different it all was from what you'd planned.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
So we'll just let things take their course, and never be sorry.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The afternoon had made them tranquil for a while, as if to give them a deep memory for the long parting the next day promised.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I hope I haven't given you the impression that I consider kissing intrinsically irrational.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When a man is tired of life on his 21st birthday it indicates that he is rather tired of something in himself.
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
Then I grew up, and the beauty of succulent illusions fell away from me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Experience is the name so many people give to their mistakes.
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
All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I didn't realize it, but the days came along one after another, and then two years were gone, and everything was gone, and I was gone.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
