I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
You seem to take things so personally, hating people and worshipping them--always thinking people are so important--especially yourselves. You just ask to be kicked around. I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it--on the inside.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The things that'll make you fail I'll love always.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
