More quotes by Zelda Fitzgerald
Death is the only real elegance.
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
Nothing could have survived our life.
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
One illusion is as good as another.
Zelda Fitzgerald
[The Sun Also Rises is about] bullfighting, bullslinging and bullsh[*]t.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Look closer and you'll see something extraordinary, mystifying, something real and true. We have never been what we seemed.
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
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
I can't read or sleep. Without hope or youth or money I sit constantly wishing I were dead.
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
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
Being in love, she concluded, is simply a presentation of our pasts to another individual, mostly packages so unwieldy that we can no longer manage the loosened strings alone.
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
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
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
Maybe other people's ideas of us are truer than our own.
Zelda Fitzgerald
And only weaklings...who lack courage and the power to feel they're right when the whole world says they're wrong, ever lose.
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
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
