More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I learned a little of beauty - enough to know that it had nothing to do with truth.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Whenever you feel like criticizing any one... just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Of all natural forces, vitality is the incommunicable one. . . . Vitality never takes. You have it or you haven't it, like health or brown eyes or a baritone voice.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He was going to live in New York, and be known at every restaurant and café, wearing a dress suit from early evening to early morning, sleeping away the dull hours of the forenoon.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
For awhile after you quit Keats all other poetry seems to be only whistling or humming.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I like France, where everybody thinks he's Napoleon--down here everybody thinks he's Christ.
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
I think that we already have a really good system in town, but I have a vision that it could be even better. My vision is that academic excellence is the area that we should pursue more, coupled with fiscal discipline.
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
To most women art is a form of scandal.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It was as if for the remainder of his life he was condemned to carry with him the egos of certain people, early met and early loved, and to be only as complete as they were complete themselves. There was some element of loneliness involved--so easy to be loved--so hard to love.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It seemed that the only lover she had ever wanted was a lover in a dream.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
...for a moment people set down their glasses in county clubs and speak-easies and thought of their old best dreams.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I talk with the authority of failure - Ernest with the authority of success. We could never sit across the same table again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
People talk of the courage of convictions, but in actual life a man's duty to his family may make a rigid course seem a selfish indulgence of his own righteousness.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate to the present than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of memory.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Reserving judgements is a matter of infinite hope.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Montana sunset lay between the mountains like a giant bruise from which darkened arteries spread across a poisoned sky.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
