More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.
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
A sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
People living alone get used to loneliness.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
People invariably chose inimitable people to imitate.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Baseball is a game played by idiots for morons.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The strongest guard is placed at the gateway to nothing. Maybe because the condition of emptiness is too shameful to be divulged.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
For the moment I can only cry out that I have lost my splendid mirage. Come back, come back, O glittering and white!
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
The kiss originated when the first male reptile licked the first female reptile, implying in a subtle way that she was as succulent as the small reptile he had for dinner the night before.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You seem to take things so personally, hating people and worshipping them--always thinking people are so important--especially yourselves. You just ask to be kicked around. 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
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
I just couldn't make the grade as a hack-that, like everything else, requires a certain practiced excellence.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
the best contacts are when one knows the obstacles and still wants to preserve a relation.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
And in the end, we were all just humans...Drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
But he hated to be sober. It made him conscious of the people around him, of that air of struggle, of greedy ambition, of hope more sordid than despair, of incessant passage up or down.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It makes me sad because I've never seen such--such beautiful shirts before.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
