More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Then I grew up, and the beauty of succulent illusions fell away from me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
The victor belongs to the spoils.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I may turn out an intellectual, but I'll never write anything but mediocre poetry.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Shakespeare--whetting, frustrating, surprising and gratifying.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
People living alone get used to loneliness.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The hangover became a part of the day as well allowed-for as the Spanish siesta.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Good manners are an admission that everybody is so tender that they have to be handled with gloves. Now, human respect—you don't call a man a coward or a liar lightly, but if you spend your life sparing people's feelings and feeding their vanity, you get so you can't distinguish what should be respected in them.
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
Ernest [Hemmingway] was always ready to lend a helping hand to the one on the rung above him.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
