More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
He talked a lot about the past, and I gathered that he wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy. His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could once return to a certain starting place and go over it all slowly, he could find out what that thing was.
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
The rich get richer and the poor get - children.
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
Dear, don't think of getting out of bed yet. I've always suspected that early rising in early life makes one nervous.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Even when everything seems rotten you can't trust that judgment. It's the sum of all your judgments that counts.
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
New friends can often have a better time together than old friends.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
You’re just the romantic age,” she continued- “fifty. Twenty-five is too worldly wise thirty is apt to be pale from overwork forty is the age of long stories that take a whole cigar to tell sixty is- oh, sixty is too near seventy but fifty is the mellow age. I love fifty.” - Hildegarde
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Travel, which had once charmed him, seemed, at length, unendurable, a business of color without substance, a phantom chase after his own dream's shadow.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When he buys his ties he has to ask if gin will make them run.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I learned a little of beauty - enough to know that it had nothing to do with truth.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Every author ought to write every book as if he were going to be beheaded the day he finished it.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
A man's social rank is determined by the amount of bread he eats in a sandwich.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was overstrained with grief and loneliness: almost any shoulder would have done as well.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She wanted to crawl into his pocket and be safe forever.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Gatsby turned out all right at the end it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I felt a haunting loneliness sometimes, and felt it in others--young clerks in the dusk, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
