Once I thought that Lake Forest was the most glamorous place in the world. Maybe it was.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Riches have never fascinated me, unless combined with the greatest charm or distinction.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Youth is like having a big plate of candy. Sentimentalists think they want to be in the pure, simple state they were in before they ate the candy. They don't. They just want the fun of eating it all over again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Men don’t often know those times when a girl could be had for nothing.

A squalid phantasmagoria of breath
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure and the memory so possessed him that for the moment there was nothing to do but to pretend.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
First, he realized that the sea was blue and that there was an enormous quantity of it, and that it roared and roared-really all the banalities about the ocean that one could realize, but if any one had told him then that these things were banalities, he would have gaped in wonder.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She saw something awful in the very simplicity she failed to understand.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Baltimore is warm but pleasant... I belong here, where everything is civilized and gay and rotted and polite.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
They had spent a year in France for no particular reason, and then drifted here and there unrestfully wherever people played polo and were rich together.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Never miss a party...good for the nerves--like celery.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
No one should live beyond 30.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I just couldn't make the grade as a hack-that, like everything else, requires a certain practiced excellence.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When he buys his ties he has to ask if gin will make them run.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She wanted to crawl into his pocket and be safe forever.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When the first-rate author wants an exquisite heroine or a lovely morning, he finds that all the superlatives have been worn shoddy by his inferiors. It should be a rule that bad writers must start with plain heroines and ordinary mornings, and, if they are able, work up to something better.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
