F. Scott Fitzgerald
He had possessed the arrogance of a tall member of a short race, with no obligation save to be tall.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I avoided writers very carefully because they can perpetuate trouble as no one else can.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There has never been an American tragedy. There have only been great failures.
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
When I'm with you, I don't breathe quite right.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You are mine-you know you're mine! he cried wildly...the moonlight twisted in through the vines and listened...the fireflies hung upon their whispers as if to win his glance from the glory of their eyes.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
But you can love more than just one person, can't you?
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Now the standard cure for one who is sunk is to consider those in actual destitution or physical suffering
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I think they're very attractive,' Abe agreed. 'I just don't think they're attractive, that's all.
