More quotes by 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
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
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

I am really only myself when I'm somebody else whom I have endowed with these wonderful qualities from my imagination.

Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
A vacuum can only exist, I imagine, by the things which enclose it.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Looking for love is like asking for a new point of departure ... another chance in life.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
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 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.

Youth doesn't need friends -- it only needs crowds.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
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
Image
By the time a person has achieved years adequate for choosing a direction, the die is cast and the moment has long since passed which determined the future.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
The trouble with emergencies is, she said, that I always put on my finest underwear and then nothing happens.
Zelda Fitzgerald

Other people's ideas of us are dependent largely on what they've hoped for.

I believed I was a salamander, and it seems I am nothing but an impediment.
