Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Receding from grief, it seems necessary to retrace the same steps that brought us there.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
I have asked a lot of my emotions-one hundred and twenty stories.

Now it has gone and I am just like you now.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

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
There's no beauty without poignancy and there's no poignancy without the feeling that it's going, men, names, books, houses--bound for dust--mortal--
F. Scott Fitzgerald
To create souls in men, to create fine happiness and fine despair she must remain deeply proud - proud to be inviolate, proud also to be melting, to be passionate and possessed.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Beautiful things grow to a certain height and then they fail and fade off, breathing out memories as they decay.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The reason one writes isn't the fact he wants to say something. He writes because he has something to say.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I'm not much like myself any more.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It’s a great advantage not to drink among hard drinking people.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
In a real dark night of the soul, it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
