Her eyes were bright, big, clear, wet and shining, the colour of her cheeks was real, breaking close to the surface from the strong young pump of her heart. Her body hovered delicately on the last edge of childhood -- she was almost eighteen, nearly complete, but the dew was still on her. F. Scott Fitzgerald
But his heart was in a constant, turbulent riot. The most grotesque and fantastic conceits haunted him in his bed at night. A universe of ineffable gaudiness spun itself out in his brain while the clock ticked on the washstand and the moon soaked with wet light his tangled clothes upon the floor. Each night he added to the pattern of his fancies until drowsiness closed down upon some vivid scene with an oblivious embrace. For awhile these reveries provided an outlet for his imagination;... F. Scott Fitzgerald
She saw him the first day on board, and then her heart sank into her shoes as she realized at last how much she wanted him. No matter what his past was, no matter what he had done.

When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart. Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from... F. Scott Fitzgerald
You seem to take things so personally, hating people and worshipping them--always thinking people are so important--especially yourselves. You just ask to be kicked around. I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it--on the inside. F. Scott Fitzgerald

Better let it all alone in the depths of her heart and the depths of the sea. F. Scott Fitzgerald
France was a land, England was a people, but America, having about it still that quality of the idea, was harder to utter - it was the graves at Shiloh and the tired, drawn, nervous faces of its great men, and the country boys dying in the Argonne for a phrase that was empty before their bodies withered. It was a willingness of the heart. F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart..."
I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside. F. Scott Fitzgerald

I carry the place around the world in my heart but sometimes I try to shake it off in my dreams F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "He's sensitive and I don't want him to break his heart over..."
He's sensitive and I don't want him to break his heart over somebody who doesn't care about him. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Something was making him nibble at the edge of stale ideas as if his sturdy physical egotism no longer nourished his peremptory heart. F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "NO AMOUNT OF FIRE OR FRESHNESS CAN CHALLENGE WHAT A MAN WILL..."
NO AMOUNT OF FIRE OR FRESHNESS CAN CHALLENGE WHAT A MAN WILL STORE UP IN HIS GHOSTLY HEART F. Scott Fitzgerald
I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart. F. Scott Fitzgerald
