F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
smoking had come to be an important punctuation mark in the long sentence of a day on the road.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I carry the place around the world in my heart but sometimes I try to shake it off in my dreams
F. Scott Fitzgerald
If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
For awhile after you quit Keats all other poetry seems to be only whistling or humming.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Actually that’s my secret — I can’t even talk about you to anybody because I don’t want any more people to know how wonderful you are.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There has never been an American tragedy. There have only been great failures.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I was enjoying myself now. I had taken two finger bowls of champagne and the scene had changed before my eyes into something significant, elemental and profound.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She saw something awful in the very simplicity she failed to understand.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
