F. Scott Fitzgerald
Amory thought how it was only the past that seemed strange and unbelievable.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Well, let it pass, he thought April is over, April is over. There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice. --The Sensible Thing
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Murder your darlings.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Of the things they possessed in common, greatest of all was their almost uncanny pull at each others hearts.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It appears that every man's insomnia is as different from his neighbours as are their daytime hopes and aspirations.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It was about then [1920] that I wrote a line which certain people will not let me forget: She was a faded but still lovely woman of twenty-seven.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You are the loveliest thing that I have ever known.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There has never been an American tragedy. There have only been great failures.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
All that kept her from breaking was that it was not an image of strength that was leaving her she would be just as strong without him.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The extraordinary thing is not that people in a lifetime turn out worse or better than we had prophesied particularly in America that is to be expected. The extraordinary thing is how people keep their levels, fulfill their promises, seem actually buoyed up by an inevitable destiny.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
