Life is much more successfully looked at from a single window.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Montana sunset lay between the mountains like a giant bruise from which darkened arteries spread across a poisoned sky.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Ernest [Hemmingway] was always ready to lend a helping hand to the one on the rung above him.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The hangover became a part of the day as well allowed-for as the Spanish siesta.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Feel like criticizing any one, he told me, just remember
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
But his heart was in a constant, turbulent riot.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
But you can love more than just one person, can't you?
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I felt a haunting loneliness sometimes, and felt it in others--young clerks in the dusk, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
