F. Scott Fitzgerald
It’s a great advantage not to drink among hard drinking people.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
For a while these reveries provided an outlet for his imagination they were a satisfactory hint of the unreality of reality, a promise that the rock of the world was founded securely on a fairy's wing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
So I walked away and left him standing there in the moonlight - watching over nothing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The idea that to make a man work you've got to hold gold in front of his eyes is a growth, not an axiom. We've done that for so long that we've forgotten there's any other way.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Men don’t often know those times when a girl could be had for nothing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Life is so damned hard, so damned hard... It just hurts people and hurts people, until finally it hurts them so that they can't be hurt ever any more. That's the last and worst thing it does.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
