More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Then came the war, old sport. It was a great relief, and I tried very hard to die, but I seemed to bear an enchanted life.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was incomprehensible, for, in her, soul and spirit were one - the beauty of her body was the essence of her soul. She was that unity sought for by philosophers through many centuries. In this outdoor waiting room of winds and stars she had been sitting for a hundred years, at peace in the contemplation of herself.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Premature success gives one an almost mystical conception of destiny as opposed to will power-at its worst the Napoleonic delusion.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
A new generation dedicated more than the last to the fear of poverty and the worship of success grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken...
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Human sympathy has its limits.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Great books write themselves, only bad books have to be written.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
If he had to bring all the bitterness and hatred of the world into his heart, he was not going to be in love with her again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Her grey, sun-strained eyes stared straight ahead, but she had deliberately shifted our relations, and for a moment I thought I loved her. But I am slow-thinking and full of interior rules that act as brakes on my desires, and I knew that first I had to get myself definitely out of that tangle back home.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I may turn out an intellectual, but I'll never write anything but mediocre poetry.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He talked a lot about the past and I gathered that he wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
God knows what you've been doing, everything you've been doing. You may fool me, but you can't fool God!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
People invariably chose inimitable people to imitate.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Men don’t often know those times when a girl could be had for nothing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.
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
Nothing any good isn't hard.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
If you're in love it ought to make you happy. You ought to laugh.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
