More quotes by 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
Other people's ideas of us are dependent largely on what they've hoped for.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I am really only myself when I'm somebody else whom I have endowed with these wonderful qualities from my imagination.
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 been able to experience what they have thoroughly understood - or understand what they have experienced until they have achieved a detachment that renders them incapable of repeating the experience.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I take a sun bath and listen to the hours, formulating, and disintegrating under the pines, and smell the resiny hardihood of the high noon hours. The world is lost in a blue haze of distances, and the immediate sleeps in a thin and finite sun.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I can't read or sleep. Without hope or youth or money I sit constantly wishing I were dead.
Zelda Fitzgerald
A vacuum can only exist, I imagine, by the things which enclose it.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Nothing could have survived our life.
Zelda Fitzgerald

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
I don't want to live. I want to love first, and live incidentally.
Zelda Fitzgerald
[The Sun Also Rises is about] bullfighting, bullslinging and bullsh[*]t.
Zelda Fitzgerald
We get something to do and as soon as we've got it, it gets us.
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
We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising.
Zelda Fitzgerald
She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.
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
Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.
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
