F. Scott Fitzgerald
I talk with the authority of failure - Ernest with the authority of success. We could never sit across the same table again.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Don't forget who you are and where you come from.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Feel like criticizing any one, he told me, just remember
F. Scott Fitzgerald
