More quotes by 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
Why is there happiness and comfort and excitement where you are and no where else in the world.
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
It's terrible to allow conventional habits to gain a hold on a whole household to eat, sleep and live by clock ticks.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Other people's ideas of us are dependent largely on what they've hoped for.
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
I believed I was a salamander, and it seems I am nothing but an impediment.
Zelda Fitzgerald
She refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Love is bitter and all there is, and that the rest is for the emotional beggars of the earth.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Most people hew the battlements of life from compromise, erecting their impregnable keeps from judicious submissions, fabricating their philosophical drawbridges from emotional retractions and scalding marauders in the boiling oil of sour grapes.
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
We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion.
Zelda Fitzgerald
without you, dearest dearest I couldn't see or hear or feel or think - or live - I love you so and I'm never in all our lives going to let us be apart another night.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Don't you think I was made for you? I feel like you had me ordered - and I was delivered to you - to be worn. I want you to wear me, like a watch-charm or a buttonhole bouquet.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I wish I could write a beautiful book to break those hearts that are soon to cease to exist: a book of faith and small neat worlds and of people who live by the philosophies of popular songs.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Nothing could have survived our life.
Zelda Fitzgerald
One illusion is as good as another.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Nothing annoys me more than having the most trivial action analyzed and explained.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I can't read or sleep. Without hope or youth or money I sit constantly wishing I were dead.
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.
