F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was a faded but still lovely woman of twenty-seven.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When the lightning strikes one of us, it strikes both
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Marriage was created not to be a background but to need one. Mine is going to be outstanding. It can't, shan't be the setting - it's going to be the performance, the lively, lovely, glamorous performance, and the world shall be the scenery.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I’ve heard it said that Daisy’s murmur was only to make people lean toward her an irrelevant criticism that made it no less charming.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.
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
The strongest guard is placed at the gateway to nothing. Maybe because the condition of emptiness is too shameful to be divulged.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I am a woman and my business is to hold things together. My business is to tear them apart.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Long afterward Amory thought of sophomore spring as the happiest time of his life. His ideas were in tune with life as he found it he wanted no more than to drift and dream and enjoy a dozen new-found friendships through the April afternoons.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Things are sweeter when they're lost. I know--because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly, Dot, and when I got it it turned to dust in my hand.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Great books write themselves, only bad books have to be written.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Receding from grief, it seems necessary to retrace the same steps that brought us there.
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.
