More quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Those days are over. I have to be won all over again every time you see me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Someday I'm going to find somebody and love him and love him and never let him go.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It's a great advantage not to drink among hard-drinking people. You can hold your tongue, and, moreover, you can time any little irregularity of your own so that everybody else is so blind that they don't see or care.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The extraordinary thing is not that people in a lifetime turn out worse or better than we had prophesied particularly in America that is to be expected. The extraordinary thing is how people keep their levels, fulfill their promises, seem actually buoyed up by an inevitable destiny.
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
I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I don’t want just words. If that’s all you have for me, you’d better go
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Experience is the name so many people give to their mistakes.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I carry the place around the world in my heart but sometimes I try to shake it off in my dreams
F. Scott Fitzgerald
We want to believe. Young students try to believe in older authors, constituents try to believe in their Congressmen, countries try to believe in their statesmen, but they can't. Too many voices, too much scattered, illogical ill-considered criticism.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
There was not a moving up into vacated places there was simply an anachronistic staying on between a vanishing past and an incalculable future.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It was strange to have no self-to be like a little boy left alone in a big house, who knew that now he could do anything he wanted to do, but found that there was nothing that he wanted to do.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The strongest guard is placed at the gateway to nothing. Maybe because the condition of emptiness is too shameful to be divulged.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Joan Crawford is doubtless the best example of the flapper, the girl you see in smart night clubs, gowned to the apex of sophistication, toying iced glasses with a remote, faintly bitter expression, dancing deliciously, laughing a great deal, with wide, hurt eyes. Young things with a talent for living.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
New York had all the iridescence of the beginning of the world.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Dear, don't think of getting out of bed yet. I've always suspected that early rising in early life makes one nervous.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Can’t repeat the past?…Why of course you can!
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Begin with an individual, and before you know it you find that you have created a type begin with a type, and you find that you have created - nothing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Riches have never fascinated me, unless combined with the greatest charm or distinction.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
At eighteen our convictions are hills from which we look at forty-five they are caves in which we hide.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
