You don’t know what a trial it is to be —like me. I've got to keep my face like steel in the street to keep men from winking at me.

More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Most people think everybody feels about them much more violently than they actually do they think other people's opinions of them swing through great arcs of approval or disapproval.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
A new world, material without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She saw something awful in the very simplicity she failed to understand.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Suddenly she realized that what she was regretting was not the lost past but the lost future, not what had not been but what would never be.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I'll drink your champagne. I'll drink every drop of it, I don't care if it kills me.
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
I can’t tell you just how wonderful she is. I don’t want you to know. I don’t want any one to know.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She knew few words and believed in none.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
France was a land, England was a people, but America, having about it still that quality of the idea, was harder to utter - it was the graves at Shiloh and the tired, drawn, nervous faces of its great men, and the country boys dying in the Argonne for a phrase that was empty before their bodies withered. It was a willingness of the heart.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That's a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try. There are only diamonds in the whole world, diamonds and perhaps the shabby gift of disillusion.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Someday I'm going to find somebody and love him and love him and never let him go.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Great books write themselves, only bad books have to be written.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I have never wished there was a God to call on- I have often wished there was a God to thank.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I suppose books mean more than people to me anyway
F. Scott Fitzgerald
So we'll just let things take their course, and never be sorry.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She confused him and hindered the flow of his ideas. Self-expression had never seemed at once so desirable and so impossible.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Never befuddle a solitary thrashing with a last annihilation.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Most affectations conceal something eventually, even though they don't in the beginning.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The kiss originated when the first male reptile licked the first female reptile, implying in a subtle way that she was as succulent as the small reptile he had for dinner the night before.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
