Zelda Fitzgerald
Pronunciation has made many an innocent word sound like a doctor's orders for a stomach pump.
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
I remember every single spot of light that ever gouged a shadow beside your bones.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Anything incomprehensible has a sexual significance to many people under thirty-five.
Zelda Fitzgerald
She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Something in me vibrates to a dusky, dreamy smell of dying moons and shadows.
Zelda Fitzgerald

Zelda Fitzgerald
