More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
No one should live beyond 30.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Receding from grief, it seems necessary to retrace the same steps that brought us there.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I found something! Courage--just that courage as a rule of life and something to cling to always.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
France was a land, England was a people, but America, having about it still that quality of the idea, was harder to utter - it was the graves at Shiloh and the tired, drawn, nervous faces of its great men, and the country boys dying in the Argonne for a phrase that was empty before their bodies withered. It was a willingness of the heart.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There is a moment—Oh, just before the first kiss, a whispered word—something that makes it worth while.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He wanted to appear suddenly to her in novel and heroic colors. He wanted to stir her from that casualness she showed toward everything except herself.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
How different it all was from what you'd planned.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that registered earthquakes ten thousand miles away.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It makes me sad because I've never seen such--such beautiful shirts before.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When I'm with you, I don't breathe quite right.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
But I always felt that I'd rather be provincial hot-tamale than soup without seasoning.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Can’t repeat the past?…Why of course you can!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
He had no plans, no definite intentions, except to kiss her lips again, to hold her in his arms.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was feeling the pressure of the world outside and she wanted to see him and feel his presence beside her and be reassured that she was doing the right thing after all.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I am too much a moralist at heart, and really want to preach at people in some acceptable form, rather than entertain them.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Human sympathy has its limits.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The failure and the success both believe in their hearts that they have accurately balanced points of view, the success because he's succeeded, and the failure because he's failed. The successful man tells his son to profit by his father's good fortune, and the failure tells his son to profit by his father's mistakes.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Suddenly she realized that what she was regretting was not the lost past but the lost future, not what had not been but what would never be.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
