More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald

When the man had finished she would be waiting, without fret or impatience, somewhere on a highstool, turning the pages of a newspaper.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The things that'll make you fail I'll love always.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
I began to like New York, the racy, adventurous feel of it at night, and the satisfaction that the constant flicker of men and women and machines gives to the restless eye.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I was enjoying myself now. I had taken two finger bowls of champagne and the scene had changed before my eyes into something significant, elemental and profound.
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
At eighteen our convictions are hills from which we look at forty-five they are caves in which we hide.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I hope I haven't given you the impression that I consider kissing intrinsically irrational.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
the best contacts are when one knows the obstacles and still wants to preserve a relation.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I was too absorbed to be responsive
F. Scott Fitzgerald
So they were desperately in love and being desperately in love involves a desperate existence.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
So when the blue smoke of brittle leaves was in the air and the wind blew the wet laundry stiff on the line I decided to come back home.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She knew few words and believed in none.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
