Image
He had seen me several times, and had intended to call on me long before, but a peculiar combination of circumstances had prevented it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Intelligence is measured by a person's ability to see validity within both sides of contradicting arguments.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Gold? Yellow, glittering, precious gold?... This yellow slave Will knit and break religions, bless th' accursed, Make the hoar leprosy adored, place thieves, And give them title, knee and approbation With senators on the bench.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
You've got an awfully kissable mouth.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Once I thought that Lake Forest was the most glamorous place in the world. Maybe it was.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
She was incomprehensible, for, in her, soul and spirit were one - the beauty of her body was the essence of her soul. She was that unity sought for by philosophers through many centuries. In this outdoor waiting room of winds and stars she had been sitting for a hundred years, at peace in the contemplation of herself.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
When I see a beautiful shell like that I can't help feeling a regret about what's inside it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
And in the end, we were all just humans...Drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
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
Image
You are the loveliest thing that I have ever known.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
He had possessed the arrogance of a tall member of a short race, with no obligation save to be tall.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
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
Image
The sign of intelligence is the ability to carry opposed thoughts at the same time.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Life is progressive, no matter what our intentions.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
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
Image
It seemed that the only lover she had ever wanted was a lover in a dream.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
They were stars on this stage, each playing to an audience of two: the passion of their pretense created the actuality. Here, finally, was the quintessence of self-expression-- yet it was probable that for the most part their love expressed Gloria rather than Anthony. He felt often like a scarecly tolerated guest at a party she was giving.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside, until the air is alivewith chatter and laughter, and casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot, and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other’s names.
