More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known—and even that is an understatement.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was overstrained with grief and loneliness: almost any shoulder would have done as well.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The things that'll make you fail I'll love always.
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
What'll we do with ourselves this afternoon? And the day after that, and the next thirty years?
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Of the things they possessed in common, greatest of all was their almost uncanny pull at each others hearts.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
There is a moment—Oh, just before the first kiss, a whispered word—something that makes it worth while.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Never miss a party...good for the nerves--like celery.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When a man is tired of life on his 21st birthday it indicates that he is rather tired of something in himself.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
If you have anything to say, anything you feel nobody has ever said before, you have got to feel it so desperately that you will find some way to say it that nobody has ever found before, so that the thing you have to say and the way of saying it blend as one matter--as indissolubly as if they were conceived together.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You don’t know what a trial it is to be —like me. I've got to keep my face like steel in the street to keep men from winking at me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
A new world, material without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about.
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
Scratch a Yale man with both hands and you'll be lucky to find a coast-guard. Usually you find nothing at all.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
