More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The mouth was wide open and ripped at the corners, as though she had choked a little in giving up the tremendous vitality she had stored so long.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
So we drove on toward death through the cooling twilight.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I carry the place around the world in my heart but sometimes I try to shake it off in my dreams
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He's sensitive and I don't want him to break his heart over somebody who doesn't care about him.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
An author ought to write for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmaster of ever afterwards.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He was so terrible that he was no longer terrible, only dehumanized.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
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
There was not a moving up into vacated places there was simply an anachronistic staying on between a vanishing past and an incalculable future.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I have never wished there was a God to call on- I have often wished there was a God to thank.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
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
It’s just that I feel so sad these wonderful nights. I sort of feel they’re never coming again, and I’m not really getting all I could out of them.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Receding from grief, it seems necessary to retrace the same steps that brought us there.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You can take Hollywood for granted like I did, or you can dismiss it with the contempt we reserve for what we don't understand. It can be understood too, but only dimly and in flashes. Not half a dozen men have ever been able to keep the whole equation of pictures in their heads.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I didn't realize it, but the days came along one after another, and then two years were gone, and everything was gone, and I was gone.
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
Later she remembered all the hours of the afternoon as happy -- one of those uneventful times that seem at the moment only a link between past and future pleasure, but turn out to have been the pleasure itself.
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
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
The reason one writes isn't the fact he wants to say something. He writes because he has something to say.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
