F. Scott Fitzgerald Quotes

God! Banish the thought. Why don't you tell me that 'if the girl had been worth having she'd have waited for you;? No, sir, the girl really worth having won't wait for anybody.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

But in England you get neither: you're ground down by convention. You can't think as you like and you can't act as you like. That's... W. Somerset Maugham
