F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
A sense of responsibility would spoil her. She's too pretty.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
They had spent a year in France for no particular reason, and then drifted here and there unrestfully wherever people played polo and were rich together.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When he buys his ties he has to ask if gin will make them run.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She smiled at him, making sure that the smile gathered up everything inside her and directed it toward him, making him a profound promise of herself for so little, for the beat of a response, the assurance of a complimentary vibration in him.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was beautiful - but especially she was without mercy.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There was a kindliness about intoxication - there was that indescribable gloss and glamour it gave, like the memories of ephemeral and faded evenings.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Then I grew up, and the beauty of succulent illusions fell away from me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
