More quotes by 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
You are the loveliest thing that I have ever known.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
We all must try to be good.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When the first-rate author wants an exquisite heroine or a lovely morning, he finds that all the superlatives have been worn shoddy by his inferiors. It should be a rule that bad writers must start with plain heroines and ordinary mornings, and, if they are able, work up to something better.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I was thirty. Before me stretched the portentous, menacing road of a new decade.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
the intimate revelations of young men, or at least the terms in which they express them, are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It appears that every man's insomnia is as different from his neighbours as are their daytime hopes and aspirations.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I couldn't forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
It was too late - everything was too late. For years now he had dreamed the world away, basing his decisions upon emotions unstable as water.
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
Debut: the first time a young girl is seen drunk in public.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The farmers may be the backbone of the country, but who wants to be a backbone?
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He snatched the book from me and replaced it hastily on its shelf, muttering that if one brick was removed the whole library was liable to collapse.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Every act of life, from the morning toothbrush to the friend at dinner, became an effort. I hated the night when I couldn't sleep and I hated the day because it went toward night.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
From the ruins, lonely and inexplicable as the sphinx, rose the Empire State Building.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
So I walked away and left him standing there in the moonlight - watching over nothing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
And will I like being called a jazz-baby? You will love it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There is a moment—Oh, just before the first kiss, a whispered word—something that makes it worth while.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It's a great advantage not to drink among hard-drinking people. You can hold your tongue, and, moreover, you can time any little irregularity of your own so that everybody else is so blind that they don't see or care.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
