More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It takes two to make an accident.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

From the ruins, lonely and inexplicable as the sphinx, rose the Empire State Building.

At fifteen you had the radiance of early morning, at twenty you will begin to have the melancholy brilliance of the moon.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
