And, Joey, if you ever want to know about the japonicas and the daisy fields it will be alright that you have forgotten because I will be able to tell you about how it felt to be feeling that way you cannot quite remember – that will be for the time when something happens years from now that reminds you of now.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
I remember every single spot of light that ever gouged a shadow beside your bones.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
without you, dearest dearest I couldn't see or hear or feel or think - or live - I love you so and I'm never in all our lives going to let us be apart another night.
Zelda Fitzgerald

[The Sun Also Rises is about] bullfighting, bullslinging and bullsh[*]t.
Zelda Fitzgerald

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.

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.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
I love you, even if there isn’t any me, or any love, or even any life. I love you.
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
Maybe other people's ideas of us are truer than our own.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Youth doesn't need friends -- it only needs crowds.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
The purpose of life on earth is that the soul should grow - So Growl By doing what is right.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Nothing annoys me more than having the most trivial action analyzed and explained.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Something in me vibrates to a dusky, dreamy smell of dying moons and shadows.
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
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
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
Looking for love is like asking for a new point of departure ... another chance in life.
Zelda Fitzgerald
