More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I found something! Courage--just that courage as a rule of life and something to cling to always.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Then came the war, old sport. It was a great relief, and I tried very hard to die, but I seemed to bear an enchanted life.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Talk English to me, Tommy. Parlez francais avec moi, Nicole. But the meanings are different-- in French you can be heroic and gallant with dignity, and you know it. But in English you can't be heroic and gallant without being a little absurd, and you know that too. That gives me an advantage.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When the lightning strikes one of us, it strikes both
F. Scott Fitzgerald
you once liked me, didn't you?, he asked. LIKED you- I LOVED you. Everybody loved you. You could've had anybody you wanted for the asking.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The first lights of the evening were springing into pale existence. The Ferris wheel, pricked out now in lights, revolved leisurely through the dusk a few empty cars of the roller coaster rattled overhead.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The ability to hold two competing thoughts in one's mind and still be able to function is the mark of a superior mind
F. Scott Fitzgerald
And after reading Thoreau I felt how much I have lost by leaving nature out of my life.
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
First, he realized that the sea was blue and that there was an enormous quantity of it, and that it roared and roared-really all the banalities about the ocean that one could realize, but if any one had told him then that these things were banalities, he would have gaped in wonder.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He had seen me several times, and had intended to call on me long before, but a peculiar combination of circumstances had prevented it.
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
So they were desperately in love and being desperately in love involves a desperate existence.
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
At eighteen our convictions are hills from which we look at forty-five they are caves in which we hide.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Beauty is only to be admired, only to be loved - to be harvested carefully and then flung at a chosen lover like a gift of roses. It seems to me, so far as I can judge clearly at all, that my beauty would be used like that.
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
You're not sorry to go, of course. With people like us our home is where we are not... No one person in the world is necessary to you or to me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I thought of Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy's dock. He had come a long way to this lawn and 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. [- Nick Carroway]
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It isn't given to us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. They will not be cured by our most efficacious drugs or slain with our sharpest swords.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
