F. Scott Fitzgerald
She wanted to crawl into his pocket and be safe forever.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
You're a slave, a bound helpless slave to one thing in the world, your imagination.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It takes two to make an accident.
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
Riches have never fascinated me, unless combined with the greatest charm or distinction.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
So I walked away and left him standing there in the moonlight - watching over nothing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She wanted to exist only as a conscious flower, prolonging and preserving herself
F. Scott Fitzgerald
No grand idea was ever born in a conference, but a lot of foolish ideas have died there.
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
