More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
There was even a recurrent idea in America about an education that would leave out history and the past, that should be a sort of equipment for aerial adventure, weighed down by none of the stowaways of inheritance or tradition.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
We want to believe. Young students try to believe in older authors, constituents try to believe in their Congressmen, countries try to believe in their statesmen, but they can't. Too many voices, too much scattered, illogical ill-considered criticism.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The rich get richer and the poor get - children.
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
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
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
The notion of sitting down and conjuring up, not only words in which to clothe thoughts but thoughts worthy of being clothed--the whole thing was absurdly beyond his desires.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
At eighteen our convictions are hills from which we look at forty-five they are caves in which we hide.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Given a decent start any girl can beat a man nowadays.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Baseball is a game played by idiots for morons.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
No such thing as a man willing to be honest - that would be like a blind man willing to see.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I like France, where everybody thinks he's Napoleon--down here everybody thinks he's Christ.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was dazzling-- alight it was agony to comprehend her beauty in a glance.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Life is much more successfully looked at from a single window.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
All she wanted was to be a little girl, to be efficiently taken care of by some yielding yet superior power, stupider and steadier than herself. It seemed that the only lover she had ever wanted was a lover in a dream
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She confused him and hindered the flow of his ideas. Self-expression had never seemed at once so desirable and so impossible.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
That familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
How different it all was from what you'd planned.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Youth is like having a big plate of candy. Sentimentalists think they want to be in the pure, simple state they were in before they ate the candy. They don't. They just want the fun of eating it all over again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
