Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Nothing could have survived our life.

Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
Oh, we are going to be so happy away from all the things that almost got us but couldn't quite because we were too smart for them!
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.

[The Sun Also Rises is about] bullfighting, bullslinging and bullsh[*]t.
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
We get something to do and as soon as we've got it, it gets us.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Image
We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising.
