F. Scott Fitzgerald

Things are sweeter when they're lost. I know--because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly, Dot, and when I got it it turned to dust in my hand.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Once we were one person, and always it will be a little that way.

Can’t repeat the past?…Why of course you can!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
