F. Scott Fitzgerald
Once I thought that Lake Forest was the most glamorous place in the world. Maybe it was.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
A sense of responsibility would spoil her. She's too pretty.
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
She knew few words and believed in none.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her If you can bounce high, bounce for her too, Till she cry Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover, I must have you!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The helpless ecstasy of loosing himself in her charm was a powerful opiate rather than a tonic.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I have never wished there was a God to call on- I have often wished there was a God to thank.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
