I'd rather keep it as a beautiful memory
tucked away in my heart.' 'Yes, women can do that
but not men. I'd remember always, not the beauty of it while it lasted, but just the bitterness, the long bitterness.' 'Don't! ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
And courage to me meant ploughing through that dull gray mist that comes down on life
not only overriding people and circumstances but overriding the bleakness of living. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Beautiful things grow to a certain height and then they fail and fade off, breathing out memories as they decay. And just as any period decays in our minds, the things of that period should decay too, and in that way they're preserved for a while in the few hearts like mine that react to them. Trying to preserve a century by keeping its relics up to date is like keeping a dying man alive by stimulants. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Odd coincidence – he had just been wishing that very thing. They plunged like divers into the dark eddying crowd and emerging in the cool Fifties sauntered indolently homeward, infinitely romantic to each other… both were walking alone in a dispassionate garden with a ghost found in a dream. Halcyon days like boats drifting along slow-moving rivers; spring evenings full of a plaintive melancholy that made the past beautiful and bitter, bidding them look back and see that the loves of other summers long one were dead with the forgotten waltzes of their years. ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Her beautiful eyes and lips were very grave as she made her choice, and Anthony thought again how naive was her every gesture; she took all the things of life for hers to choose from and apportion, as though she were continually picking out presents for herself from an inexhaustible counter. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Later in the afternoon the sun went down with a riotous swirl of gold and varying blues and scarlets, and left the dry, rustling night of Western summer. Dexter watched from the veranda of the Golf Club, watched the even overlap of the waters in the little wind, silver molasses under the harvest-moon. Then the moon held a finger to her lips and the lake became a clear pool, pale and quiet. Dexter put on his bathing-suit and swam out to the farthest raft, where he stretched dripping on the wet canvas of the springboard. There was a fish jumping and a star shining and the lights around the lake were gleaming. Over on a dark peninsula a piano was playing the songs of last summer and of summers before that - songs from "Chin-Chin" and "The Count of Luxemburg" and "The Chocolate Soldier" - and because the sound of a piano over a stretch of water had always seemed beautiful to Dexter he lay perfectly quiet and listened. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
I want to write something new - something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned.
As usual,
F. Scott Fitzgerald ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
You are mysterious, I love you. You're beautiful, intelligent, and virtuous, and that's the rarest known combination. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
there are only a few obvious things that I notice as primarily beautiful: women, spring evenings, music at night, the sea; ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
I refuse to dedicate my life to posterity. Surely one owes as much to the current generation as to one's unwanted children. What a fate - to grow rotund and unseemly, to lose my self-love, to think in terms of milk, oatmeal, nurse, diapers ... Dear dream children, how much more beautiful you are, dazzling little creatures who flutter (all dream children must flutter) on golden, golden wings. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
I hope she'll be a fool
that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Joel did not quite believe in picture actresses' grief. They have other preoccupations - they are beautiful rose-gold figures blown full of life by writers and directors, and after hours they sit around and talk in whispers and giggle innuendoes, and the ends of many adventures flow through them. ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I'm sick of a system where the richest man gets the most beautiful girl if he wants her, where the artist without an income has to sell his talents to a button manufacturer. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Girls like you are responsible for all the tiresome colorless marriages; all those ghastly inefficiencies that pass as feminine qualities. What a blow it must be when a man with imagination marries the beautiful bundle of clothes that he's been building ideals around, and finds that she's just a weak, whining, cowardly mass of affectations! ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
You've a place in my heart no one else ever could have, but tied down here I'd get restless. I'd feel I was - wastin' myself. There's two sides to me, you see. There's the sleepy old side you love; an' there's a sort of energy - the feelin' that makes me do wild things. That's the part of me that may be useful somewhere, that'll last when I'm not beautiful any more." She ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
From the night into his high-walled room there came, persistently, that evanescent and dissolving sound - something the city was tossing up and calling back again, like a child playing with a ball. In Harlem, the Bronx, Gramercy Park, and along the water-fronts, in little parlors or on pebble-strewn, moon-flooded roofs, a thousand lovers were making this sound, crying little fragments of it into the air. All the city was playing with this sound out there in the blue summer dark, throwing it up and calling it back, promising that, in a little while, life would be beautiful as a story, promising happiness - and by that promise giving it. It gave love hope in its own survival. It could do no more. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
No, no, it's not me, it's them - that old time that I've tried to have live in me. These were just men, unimportant evidently or they wouldn't have been 'unknown'; but they died for the most beautiful thing in the world - the dead South. You see," she continued, her voice still husky, her eyes glistening with tears, "people have these dreams they fasten onto things, and I've always grown up with that dream. It was so easy because it was all dead and there weren't any disillusions comin' to me. I've tried in a way to live up to those past standards of noblesse oblige - there's just the last remnants of it, you know, like the roses of an old garden dying all round us - streaks of strange courtliness and chivalry in some of these boys an' stories I used to hear from a Confederate soldier who lived next door, and a few old darkies. Oh, Harry, there was something, there was something! I couldn't ever make you understand but it was there. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul. She is beautiful. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
And then," she continued, "there are all the subtle reformers who tell you the wild stories they've heard about you and how they've been sticking up for you. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
If you've spent any time trolling the blogosphere, you've probably noticed a peculiar literary trend: the pervasive habit of writers inexplicably placing exclamation points at the end of otherwise unremarkable sentences. Sort of like this! This is done to suggest an ironic detachment from the writing of an expository sentence! It's supposed to signify that the writer is self-aware! And this is idiotic. It's the saddest kind of failure. F. Scott Fitzgerald believed inserting exclamation points was the literary equivalent of an author laughing at his own jokes, but that's not the case in the modern age; now, the exclamation point signifies creative confusion. All it illustrates is that even the writer can't tell if what they're creating is supposed to be meaningful, frivolous, or cruel. It's an attempt to insert humor where none exists, on the off chance that a potential reader will only be pleased if they suspect they're being entertained. Of course, the reader isn't really sure, either. They just want to know when they're supposed to pretend to be amused. All those extraneous exclamation points are like little splatters of canned laughter: They represent the "form of funny," which is more easily understood (and more easily constructed) than authentic funniness. ~ Chuck Klosterman
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by Chuck Klosterman
So he tasted the deep pain that is reserved only for the strong, just as he had tasted for a little while the deep happiness. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Now you've a clean start ... you've brushed three or four ornaments down, and in a fit of pique knocked off the rest of them. The thing now is to collect some new ones, and the farther you look ahead in the collecting, the better, but remember, do the next thing. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
All life was weather, a waiting through the hot where events had no significance for the cool that was soft and caressing like a woman's hand on a tired forehead. Down in Georgia there is a feeling - perhaps inarticulate - that this is the greatest wisdom of the South - so after a while the Jelly-bean turned into a poolhall on Jackson Street where he was sure to find a congenial crowd who would make all the old jokes - the ones he knew. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Smoking had come to be an important punctuation mark in the long sentence of a day on the road. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Standing behind him, Michaelis saw with a shock that he was looking at the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg, which had just emerged, pale and enormous, from the dissolving night. "God sees everything," repeated Wilson. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
They were still in the happier stage of love. They were full of brave illusions about each other, tremendous illusions, so that the communion of self with self seemed to be on a plane where no other human relations mattered. They both seemed to have arrived there with an extraordinary innocence as though a series of pure accidents had driven them together, so many accidents that at last they were forced to conclude that they were for each other. They had arrived with clean hands, or so it seemed, after no traffic with the merely curious and clandestine. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
An author ought to write for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmaster of ever afterwards. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
I want to be able to do anything with words: handle slashing, flaming descriptions like Wells, and use the paradox with the clarity of Samuel Butler, the breadth of Bernard Shaw and the wit of Oscar Wilde, I want to do the wide sultry heavens of Conrad, the rolled-gold sundowns and crazy-quilt skies of Hitchens and Kipling as well as the pastel dawns and twilights of Chesterton. All that is by way of example. As a matter of fact I am a professed literary thief, hot after the best methods of every writer in my generation. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
He [F. Scott Fitzgerald] had learned to theorize, to think, although he was always less interested in the dissection of his reading than in the enjoyment he received. (About F. Scott Fitzgerald) ~ Sheilah Graham
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by Sheilah Graham
So, for the shoddiness of needs, are shoes made out of last year's hide. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by 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. ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Charley was twenty-six, with that faint musk of weakness hanging about him that is often mistaken for the scent of evil. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
I can do the one hundred things beyond the next thing, but I stub my toe on that, ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
The strongest should come first in comedy because once a character is really established as funny everything he does is funny. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
The truth was that Jay Gatsby, of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God - a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that - and he must be about His Father's Business, the service of a vast, vulgar and meretricious beauty. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
F Scott Fitzgerald The Beautiful And Damned quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Her voice is full of money, ...
That was it. I'd never understood before. It was full of money- that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, the cymbals' song of it ... High in a white palace the king's daughter, the golden girl ... ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
