More quotes by Zelda Fitzgerald
All I want to be is very young always and very irresponsible and to feel that my life is my own-to live and be happy and die in my own way to please myself
Zelda Fitzgerald
People are like almanacs, Bonnie - you never can find the information you're looking for, but the casual reading is well worth the trouble.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Love is bitter and all there is, and that the rest is for the emotional beggars of the earth.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Why is there happiness and comfort and excitement where you are and no where else in the world.
Zelda Fitzgerald
She felt the essence of herself pulled finer and smaller like those streams of spun glass that pull and stretch till there remains but a glimmering illusion. Neither falling nor breaking, the stream spins finer. She felt herself very small and ecstatic. Alabama was in love.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Mr. Fitzgerald-I believe that is how he spells his name-seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home.
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
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
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
Pronunciation has made many an innocent word sound like a doctor's orders for a stomach pump.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Anything incomprehensible has a sexual significance to many people under thirty-five.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I love you, even if there isn’t any me, or any love, or even any life. I love you.
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
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
I believed I was a salamander, and it seems I am nothing but an impediment.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Other people's ideas of us are dependent largely on what they've hoped for.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.
Zelda Fitzgerald
isn't it funny how danger makes people passionate?
Zelda Fitzgerald
Oh, the secret life of man and woman--dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest.
Zelda Fitzgerald
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
