More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
For a while these reveries provided an outlet for his imagination they were a satisfactory hint of the unreality of reality, a promise that the rock of the world was founded securely on a fairy's wing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
A sense of responsibility would spoil her. She's too pretty.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Murder your darlings.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
In a real dark night of the soul, it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You don’t know what a trial it is to be —like me. I've got to keep my face like steel in the street to keep men from winking at me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Baltimore is warm but pleasant... I belong here, where everything is civilized and gay and rotted and polite.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Feel like criticizing any one, he told me, just remember
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
You are the loveliest thing that I have ever known.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It isn't given to us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. They will not be cured by our most efficacious drugs or slain with our sharpest swords.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When you're older you'll know what people who love suffer. The agony. It's better to be cold and young than to love. It's happened to me before but never like this - so accidental - just when everything was going well.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Even when everything seems rotten you can't trust that judgment. It's the sum of all your judgments that counts.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It takes two to make an accident.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.
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
They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The water reached up for her, pulled her down tenderly out of the heat, seeped in her hair and ran into the corners of her body. She turned round and round in it, embracing it, wallowing in it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
