Experience teaches you how to do things you never want to do again.
Zelda Fitzgerald

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.

She refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring.
Zelda Fitzgerald

I suppose all we can really share with people is a taste for the same kinds of weather.
Zelda Fitzgerald

Women sometimes seem to share a quiet, unalterable dogma of persecution that endows even the most sophisticated of them with the inarticulate poignancy of the peasant.
Zelda Fitzgerald

memories should be sharp when one has nothing else to live for
Zelda Fitzgerald

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
Life has puffed and blown itself into a summer day, and clouds and spring billow over the heavens as if calendars were a listing of mathematical errors.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Anything incomprehensible has a sexual significance to many people under thirty-five.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
I am really only myself when I'm somebody else whom I have endowed with these wonderful qualities from my imagination.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Why is there happiness and comfort and excitement where you are and no where else in the world.

Mr. Fitzgerald-I believe that is how he spells his name-seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home.

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.

We get something to do and as soon as we've got it, it gets us.
