Quote

They had never been closer in their month of love, nor communicated more profoundly one with another, than when she brushed silent lips against his coat's shoulder or when he touched the end of her fingers, gently, as though she were asleep.

I hope I haven't given you the impression that I consider kissing intrinsically irrational.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Don't forget who you are and where you come from.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
The hangover became a part of the day as well allowed-for as the Spanish siesta.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
But you can love more than just one person, can't you?
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow older—intelligence and good manners.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
I want to be a society vampire, you see.

Daisy began to sing with the music in a husky, rhythmic whisper, bringing out a meaning in each word that it had never had before and would never have again. When the melody rose, her voice broke up sweetly, following it, in a way contralto voices have, and each change tipped out a little of her warm human magic upon the air.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Often people display a curious respect for a man drunk, rather like the respect of simple races for the insane... There is something awe-inspiring in one who has lost all inhibitions.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

A man's social rank is determined by the amount of bread he eats in a sandwich.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Riches have never fascinated me, unless combined with the greatest charm or distinction.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Even when the east excited me most, even when I was keenly aware of its superiority to the broad, sprawling, swollen towns beyond the Ohio, with their interminable inquisitions which only spared children and the very old-even then it had always for me a quality of distortion.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
But he hated to be sober. It made him conscious of the people around him, of that air of struggle, of greedy ambition, of hope more sordid than despair, of incessant passage up or down.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Then came the war, old sport. It was a great relief, and I tried very hard to die, but I seemed to bear an enchanted life.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Talk English to me, Tommy. Parlez francais avec moi, Nicole. But the meanings are different-- in French you can be heroic and gallant with dignity, and you know it. But in English you can't be heroic and gallant without being a little absurd, and you know that too. That gives me an advantage.

Murder your darlings.

The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun.

He was going to live in New York, and be known at every restaurant and café, wearing a dress suit from early evening to early morning, sleeping away the dull hours of the forenoon.

To most women art is a form of scandal.

From the ruins, lonely and inexplicable as the sphinx, rose the Empire State Building.
