F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
And will I like being called a jazz-baby? You will love it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When he buys his ties he has to ask if gin will make them run.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I hope something happens. I'm restless as the devil and have a horror of getting fat or falling in love and growing domestic.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
The invitation to Miss Myra St. Claire's bobbing party spent the morning in his coat pocket, where it had an intense physical affair with a dusty piece of peanut brittle.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He dispensed starlight to casual moths.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
