F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
I think that we already have a really good system in town, but I have a vision that it could be even better. My vision is that academic excellence is the area that we should pursue more, coupled with fiscal discipline.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
It’s a great advantage not to drink among hard drinking people.
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
The victor belongs to the spoils.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I am a woman and my business is to hold things together. My business is to tear them apart.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She confused him and hindered the flow of his ideas. Self-expression had never seemed at once so desirable and so impossible.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When I see a beautiful shell like that I can't help feeling a regret about what's inside it.
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
I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
They were smiling at each other as if this was the beginning of the world.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
