More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
But his heart was in a constant, turbulent riot.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
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.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Never miss a party...good for the nerves--like celery.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
No grand idea was ever born in a conference, but a lot of foolish ideas have died there.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Forgotten is forgiven.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Daisy began to sing with the music in a husky, rhythmic whisper, bringing out a meaning in each word that it had never had before and would never have again. When the melody rose, her voice broke up sweetly, following it, in a way contralto voices have, and each change tipped out a little of her warm human magic upon the air.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther ... And one fine morning ---
F. Scott Fitzgerald
he wanted people to like his mind again-after awhile it might be such a nice place in which to live.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He was so terrible that he was no longer terrible, only dehumanized.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It takes two to make an accident.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Books are like brothers. I am an only child. Gatsby [is] my imaginary eldest brother.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
