F. Scott Fitzgerald
Before you criticize others, remember, they may not have had the same opportunities in life as you have had
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
A new world, material without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
