F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
At fifteen you had the radiance of early morning, at twenty you will begin to have the melancholy brilliance of the moon.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
France was a land, England was a people, but America, having about it still that quality of the idea, was harder to utter - it was the graves at Shiloh and the tired, drawn, nervous faces of its great men, and the country boys dying in the Argonne for a phrase that was empty before their bodies withered.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
But I suppose you must touch life in order to spring from it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Given a decent start any girl can beat a man nowadays.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
A stirring warmth flowed from her, as if her heart was trying to come out to you concealed in one of those breathless, thrilling words.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You are mysterious, I love you. You’re beautiful, intelligent, and virtuous, and that’s the rarest known combination.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You can’t repeat the past.” “Can’t repeat the past?” he cried incredulously. “Why of course you can!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Experience is the name so many people give to their mistakes.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you -- like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist -- or else it is nothing, an empty, formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her If you can bounce high, bounce for her too, Till she cry Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover, I must have you!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The hangover became a part of the day as well allowed-for as the Spanish siesta.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
