F. Scott Fitzgerald
Once we were one person, and always it will be a little that way.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Experience is the name so many people give to their mistakes.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Never miss a party...good for the nerves--like celery.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
And Yale is November, crisp and energetic.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Can't repeat the past? he cried incredulously. Why of course you can! He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
