More quotes by 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
The hangover became a part of the day as well allowed-for as the Spanish siesta.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There was a kindliness about intoxication - there was that indescribable gloss and glamour it gave, like the memories of ephemeral and faded evenings.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Murder your darlings.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Daisy began to sing with the music in a husky, rhythmic whisper, bringing out a meaning in each word that it had never had before and would never have again. When the melody rose, her voice broke up sweetly, following it, in a way contralto voices have, and each change tipped out a little of her warm human magic upon the air.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Reserving judgements is a matter of infinite hope.
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
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
He's sensitive and I don't want him to break his heart over somebody who doesn't care about him.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was a faded but still lovely woman of twenty-seven.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Joan Crawford is doubtless the best example of the flapper, the girl you see in smart night clubs, gowned to the apex of sophistication, toying iced glasses with a remote, faintly bitter expression, dancing deliciously, laughing a great deal, with wide, hurt eyes. Young things with a talent for living.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Amory thought how it was only the past that seemed strange and unbelievable.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Her philosophy is carpe diem for herself and laissez faire for others.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You're not sorry to go, of course. With people like us our home is where we are not... No one person in the world is necessary to you or to me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Suddenly she realized that what she was regretting was not the lost past but the lost future, not what had not been but what would never be.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
People living alone get used to loneliness.
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
Never walk near the bed to a ghost your ankle is your most vulnerable part-once in bed, you're safe he may lie around under the bed all night, but you're safe as daylight. If you still have doubts pull the blanket over your head.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
