More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I'm not much like myself any more.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
The afternoon had made them tranquil for a while, as if to give them a deep memory for the long parting the next day promised.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Lie to me by the moonlight. Do a fabulous story.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Englishmen must have an island.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
For awhile after you quit Keats all other poetry seems to be only whistling or humming.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
You really ought to read more books - you know, those things that look like blocks but come apart on one side.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
God knows what you've been doing, everything you've been doing. You may fool me, but you can't fool God!
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
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
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
Premature success gives one an almost mystical conception of destiny as opposed to will power-at its worst the Napoleonic delusion.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
