Zelda Fitzgerald
Image

Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Looking for love is like asking for a new point of departure ... another chance in life.
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 don't want to live. I want to love first, and live incidentally.
Zelda Fitzgerald
