F. Scott Fitzgerald
Happiness, remarked Maury Noble one day, is only the first hour after the alleviation of some especially intense misery.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You really ought to read more books - you know, those things that look like blocks but come apart on one side.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Here's to alcohol, the rose colored glasses of life.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
At eighteen our convictions are hills from which we look at forty-five they are caves in which we hide.
