Amory thought how it was only ...

Amory thought how it was only the past that seemed strange and unbelievable.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

A new world, material without ...

A new world, material without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

When a man is tired of life on...

When a man is tired of life on his 21st birthday it indicates that he is rather tired of something in himself.

Gold? Yellow, glittering, precious gold?... This yellow slave Will knit and break religions, bless th' accursed, Make the hoar leprosy adored, place thieves, And give them title, knee and approbation With senators on the bench.

Receding from grief, it seems necessary to retrace the same steps that brought us there.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

People try so hard to believe ...

People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher -- a Roosevelt, a Tolstoi, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It's the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Writing is eternal, For therei...

Writing is eternal, For therein the dead heart liveth, the clay-cold tongue is eloquent, And the quick eye of the reader is cleared by the reed of the scribe. As a fossil in the rock, or a coin in the mortar of a ruin, So the symbolled thoughts tell of a departed soul: The plastic hand hath its witness in a statue, and exactitude of vision in a picture, And so, the mind, that was among us, in its writings is embalmed.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

The years between thirty-five ...

The years between thirty-five and sixty-five revolve before the passive mind as one unexplained, confusing merry-go-round. True, they are a merry-go-round of ill-gaited and wind-broken horses, painted first in pastel colors, then in dull grays and browns, but perplexing and intolerably dizzy the thing is, as never were the merry-go-rounds of childhood or adolescence; as never, surely, were the certain-coursed, dynamic roller-coasters of youth. For most men and women these thirty years are taken up with a gradual withdr

Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Yet high over the city our lin...

Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I was him too, looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

I love New York on summer afte...

I love New York on summer afternoons when everyone's away. There's something very sensuous about it - overripe, as if all sorts of funny fruits were going to fall into your hands.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

A classic,' suggested Anthony,...

A classic,' suggested Anthony, 'is a successful book that has survived the reaction of the next period or generation. Then it's safe, like a style in architecture or furniture. It's acquired a picturesque dignity to take the place of its fashion.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

No amount of fire or freshness...

No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

He lifted his arms to the crys...

He lifted his arms to the crystaline, radiant sky. 'I know myself,' he cried, 'but that is all.

She smiled, a moving childish smile that was like all the lost youth in the world.

Work like hell! I had 122 rejection slips before I sold a story.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

My generation of radicals and breakers-down never found anything to take the place of the old virtues of work and courage and the old graces of courtesy and politeness.

There has never been an American tragedy. There have only been great failures.

For what it's worth, it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you're proud of and if you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start over.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

It was as if for the remainder...

It was as if for the remainder of his life he was condemned to carry with him the egos of certain people, early met and early loved, and to be only as complete as they were complete themselves. There was some element of loneliness involved--so easy to be loved--so hard to love.
