More quotes by Zelda Fitzgerald
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
Looking for love is like asking for a new point of departure ... another chance in life.
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.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Experience teaches you how to do things you never want to do again.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Why is there happiness and comfort and excitement where you are and no where else in the world.
Zelda Fitzgerald
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

Zelda Fitzgerald

Zelda Fitzgerald
It seems to me that on one page I recognized a portion of an old diary of mine which mysteriously disappeared shortly after my marriage, and, also, scraps of letters which, though considerably edited, sound to me vaguely familiar. In fact, Mr. Fitzgerald (I believe that is how he spells his name) seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home.
Zelda Fitzgerald
memories should be sharp when one has nothing else to live for
Zelda Fitzgerald
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
Emptying the ashtrays was very expressive of myself. i just lump everything in a great heap which i have labeled ‘the past,’ and having thus emptied this deep reservoir that was once myself, i am ready to continue.
Zelda Fitzgerald
The trouble with emergencies is, she said, that I always put on my finest underwear and then nothing happens.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.
Zelda Fitzgerald
She refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Why should all life be work, when we all can borrow. Let's think only of today, and not worry about tomorrow.
Zelda Fitzgerald
There's nothing on earth to do here but look at the view and eat. You can imagine the result since I do not like to look at views.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I love you, even if there isn’t any me, or any love, or even any life. I love you.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Millie Beggs, by the time she was forty-five, had become an emotional anarchist.
Zelda Fitzgerald
isn't it funny how danger makes people passionate?
