Why is there happiness and comfort and excitement where you are and no where else in the world.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.
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
Image
Why should all life be work, when we all can borrow. Let's think only of today, and not worry about tomorrow.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
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.
Zelda Fitzgerald

Zelda Fitzgerald

Death is the only real elegance.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
I don’t suppose I really know you very well - but I know you smell like the delicious damp grass that grows near old walls and that your hands are beautiful opening out of your sleeves and that the back of your head is a mossy sheltered cave when there is trouble in the wind and that my cheek just fits the depression in your shoulder.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Look closer and you'll see something extraordinary, mystifying, something real and true. We have never been what we seemed.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
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
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
Image
Women, despite the fact that nine out of ten of them go through life with a death-bed air either of snatching-the-last-moment or with martyr-resignation, do not die tomorrow--or the next day. They have to live on to any one of many bitter ends.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Oh, we are going to be so happy away from all the things that almost got us but couldn't quite because we were too smart for them!
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
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
I believed I was a salamander, and it seems I am nothing but an impediment.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Anything incomprehensible has a sexual significance to many people under thirty-five.
Zelda Fitzgerald

The night you gave me my birthday party... you were a young Lieutenant and I was a fragrant phantom, wasn't I? And it was a radiant night, a night of soft conspiracy and the trees agreed that it was all going to be for the best.
