I don't want to live. I want to love first, and live incidentally.
Zelda Fitzgerald

Death is the only real elegance.
Zelda Fitzgerald

[The Sun Also Rises is about] bullfighting, bullslinging and bullsh[*]t.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
A southern moon is a sodden moon, and sultry. When it swamps the fields and the rustling sandy roads and the sticky honeysuckle hedges in its sweet stagnation, your fight to hold on to reality is like a protestation against a first waft of ether.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Don't you think I was made for you? I feel like you had me ordered - and I was delivered to you - to be worn. I want you to wear me, like a watch-charm or a buttonhole bouquet.

We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion.

Scott-there's nothing in the world I want but you-and your precious love. All the material things are nothing. I'd just hate to live in a sordid, colorless existence-because you'd soon love less-and less-and I'd do anything-anything-to keep your heart for my own-I don't want to live-I want to love first and live incidentally.

I am really only myself when I'm somebody else whom I have endowed with these wonderful qualities from my imagination.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Emptying the ashtrays was very expressive of myself. i just lump everything in a great heap which i have labeled ‘the past,’ and having thus emptied this deep reservoir that was once myself, i am ready to continue.
Zelda Fitzgerald

It's terrible to allow conventional habits to gain a hold on a whole household to eat, sleep and live by clock ticks.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Life has puffed and blown itself into a summer day, and clouds and spring billow over the heavens as if calendars were a listing of mathematical errors.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Maybe other people's ideas of us are truer than our own.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
It seems to me that on one page I recognized a portion of an old diary of mine which mysteriously disappeared shortly after my marriage, and, also, scraps of letters which, though considerably edited, sound to me vaguely familiar. In fact, Mr. Fitzgerald (I believe that is how he spells his name) seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home.

I take a sun bath and listen to the hours, formulating, and disintegrating under the pines, and smell the resiny hardihood of the high noon hours. The world is lost in a blue haze of distances, and the immediate sleeps in a thin and finite sun.

Look closer and you'll see something extraordinary, mystifying, something real and true. We have never been what we seemed.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
I love you, even if there isn’t any me, or any love, or even any life. I love you.

Pronunciation has made many an innocent word sound like a doctor's orders for a stomach pump.

People are like almanacs, Bonnie - you never can find the information you're looking for, but the casual reading is well worth the trouble.
