Quotes

Amory wondered how people could fail to notice that he was a boy marked for glory, and when faces of the throng turned toward him and ambiguous eyes stared into his, he assumed the most romantic of expressions and walked on the air cushions that lie on the asphalts of fourteen... F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "When a girl feels that she’s perfectly groomed and dressed she..."
When a girl feels that she’s perfectly groomed and dressed she can forget that part of her. That’s charm F. Scott Fitzgerald
For years afterwards when Amory thought of Eleanor he seemed still to hear the wind sobbing around him and sending little chills into the places beside his heart. The night when they rode up the slope and watched the cold moon float through the clouds, he lost a further part of him that nothing could restore; and when he lost it he lost also the power of regretting it. F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "Doctor Dougall was wrong. It was tempermentally impossible..."
Doctor Dougall was wrong. It was tempermentally impossible for Amory to get the best marks in school. F. Scott Fitzgerald
But he hated to be sober. It made him conscious of the people around him, of that air of struggle, of greedy ambition, of hope more sordid than despair, of incessant passage up or dow?. There was kindliness about intoxication? there was the indescribable gloss and glamour it gave, like the memories of ephemeral and faded evenings F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures."
Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures. F. Scott Fitzgerald
There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams -- not through her own fault but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o'clock in..."
In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o'clock in the morning. F. Scott Fitzgerald
I noticed that she wore her evening dress, all her dresses, like sports clothes-there was a jauntiness about her movements as if she had first learned to walk upon a golf course on clean, crisp, mornings. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Her fine high forehead sloped gently up to where her hair, bordering it like an armorial shield, burst into lovelocks and waves and curlicues of ash blonde and gold. 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
As soon as I arrived I made an attempt to find my host but the two or three people of whom I asked his whereabouts stared at me in such an amazed way and denied so vehemently an knowledge of his movements that I slunk off in the direction of the cocktail table--the only place in the garden where a single man could linger without looking purposeless and alone. F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "If the girl had been worth having she'd have waited for you?..."
If the girl had been worth having she'd have waited for you? No, sir, the girl worth having won't wait for anybody. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Either you think, or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you. F. Scott Fitzgerald
All that kept her from breaking was that it was not an image of strength that was leaving her; she would be just as strong without him. F. Scott Fitzgerald
This is a valley of ashes--a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. Occasionally a line of gray cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak, and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-gray men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable...
