More quotes by Zelda Fitzgerald
A vacuum can only exist, I imagine, by the things which enclose it.
Zelda Fitzgerald
She refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Experience teaches you how to do things you never want to do again.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I don't want to live. I want to love first, and live incidentally.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I am really only myself when I'm somebody else whom I have endowed with these wonderful qualities from my imagination.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Looking for love is like asking for a new point of departure ... another chance in life.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Why do we spend years using up our bodies to nurture our minds with experience and find our minds turning then to our exhausted bodies for solace?
Zelda Fitzgerald

Zelda Fitzgerald
Nothing could have survived our life.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I wish I could write a beautiful book to break those hearts that are soon to cease to exist: a book of faith and small neat worlds and of people who live by the philosophies of popular songs.
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
People are like almanacs, Bonnie - you never can find the information you're looking for, but the casual reading is well worth the trouble.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Nobody has ever been able to experience what they have thoroughly understood - or understand what they have experienced until they have achieved a detachment that renders them incapable of repeating the experience.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Spinach and champagne. Going back to the kitchens at the old Waldorf. Dancing on the kitchen tables, wearing the chef's headgear. Finally, a crash and being escorted out by the house detectives.
Zelda Fitzgerald
All I want to be is very young always and very irresponsible and to feel that my life is my own-to live and be happy and die in my own way to please myself
Zelda Fitzgerald
Father said conflict develops the character
Zelda Fitzgerald
Millie Beggs, by the time she was forty-five, had become an emotional anarchist.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I remember every single spot of light that ever gouged a shadow beside your bones.
Zelda Fitzgerald
