Long ago, there was something in me, but now that thing is gone. Now that thing is gone, that thing is gone. I cannot cry. I cannot care. That thing will come back no more.

More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I avoided writers very carefully because they can perpetuate trouble as no one else can.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Trouble has no necessary connection with discouragement. Discouragement has a germ of its own, as different from trouble as arthritis is different from a stiff joint.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He hadn’t once ceased looking at Daisy, and I think he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes. Sometimes, too, he stared around at his possessions in a dazed way, as though in her actual and astounding presence none of it was any longer real.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Everything that begins, begins with blood.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The failure and the success both believe in their hearts that they have accurately balanced points of view, the success because he's succeeded, and the failure because he's failed. The successful man tells his son to profit by his father's good fortune, and the failure tells his son to profit by his father's mistakes.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Sometimes I don't know whether I'm real or whether I'm a character in one of my novels.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I want to do everything in the world with you.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Suddenly she realized that what she was regretting was not the lost past but the lost future, not what had not been but what would never be.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Do you ever wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Don't forget who you are and where you come from.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Now the standard cure for one who is sunk is to consider those in actual destitution or physical suffering
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Women are necessarily capable of almost anything in their struggle for survival and can scarcely be convicted of such man-made crimes as “cruelty.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Well, let it pass, he thought April is over, April is over. There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice. --The Sensible Thing
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She knew few words and believed in none.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She wouldn't let go of the letter. She took it into the tub with her and squeezed it up in a wet ball, and only let me leave it in the soap dish when she saw that it was coming to pieces like snow.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
My God,' he gasped, 'you're fun to kiss.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Her grey, sun-strained eyes stared straight ahead, but she had deliberately shifted our relations, and for a moment I thought I loved her. But I am slow-thinking and full of interior rules that act as brakes on my desires, and I knew that first I had to get myself definitely out of that tangle back home.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Her beauty climbed the rolling slope, it came into the room, rustling ghost-like through the curtains.
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
Baltimore is warm but pleasant... I belong here, where everything is civilized and gay and rotted and polite.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
