More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
A classic,' suggested Anthony, 'is a successful book that has survived the reaction of the next period or generation. Then it's safe, like a style in architecture or furniture. It's acquired a picturesque dignity to take the place of its fashion.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The truth was that Jay Gatsby, of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that—and he must be about His Father’s Business, the service of a vast, vulgar and meretricious beauty.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Then I grew up, and the beauty of succulent illusions fell away from me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I hope I haven't given you the impression that I consider kissing intrinsically irrational.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you -- like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist -- or else it is nothing, an empty, formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I love this simply because it's cute, and I guess it's a sign of the times in many respect. It's pretty much saying you complete me, only in the sweetest way possible.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Action is character.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
But his heart was in a constant, turbulent riot.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I want leisure to read—an immense amount.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Your first most typical figure in any new place turns out to be a bluff or a local nuisance.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The farmers may be the backbone of the country, but who wants to be a backbone?
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Daisy began to sing with the music in a husky, rhythmic whisper, bringing out a meaning in each word that it had never had before and would never have again. When the melody rose, her voice broke up sweetly, following it, in a way contralto voices have, and each change tipped out a little of her warm human magic upon the air.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The kiss originated when the first male reptile licked the first female reptile, implying in a subtle way that she was as succulent as the small reptile he had for dinner the night before.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Look at that,' she whispered, and then after a moment: 'I'd like to just get one of those pink clouds and put you in it and push you around.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The sign of intelligence is the ability to carry opposed thoughts at the same time.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Her beauty climbed the rolling slope, it came into the room, rustling ghost-like through the curtains.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Kiss me now, love me now.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Trouble has no necessary connection with discouragement. Discouragement has a germ of its own, as different from trouble as arthritis is different from a stiff joint.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
She was dazzling-- alight it was agony to comprehend her beauty in a glance.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
