F. Scott Fitzgerald
I have lived hard and ruined the essential innocence [sic] in myself that could make it that possible [sic], and the fact that I have abused liquor is something to be paid for with suffering and death perhaps but not renunciation.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Learn young about hard work and manners - and you'll be through the whole dirty mess and nicely dead again before you know it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Before you criticize others, remember, they may not have had the same opportunities in life as you have had
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You've got an awfully kissable mouth.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
All I kept thinking about, over and over, was 'You can't live forever you can't live forever.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Selfish people are in a way terribly capable of great loves.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
