She wouldn't let go of the letter. She took it into the tub with her and squeezed it up in a wet ball, and only let me leave it in the soap dish when she saw that it was coming to pieces like snow.

Baltimore is warm but pleasant... I belong here, where everything is civilized and gay and rotted and polite.

That however the brains and abilities of men may differ, their stomachs are essentially the same.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

That was always my experience-...

That was always my experience-a poor boy in a rich town; a poor boy in a rich boy's school; a poor boy in a rich man's club at Princeton .... However, I have never been able to forgive the rich for being rich, and it has colored my entire life and works.

Debut: the first time a young girl is seen drunk in public.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Isn't Hollywood a dump-in the ...

Isn't Hollywood a dump-in the human sense of the word. A hideous town, pointed up by the insulting gardens of its rich, full of the human spirit at a new low of debasement.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

I have lived hard and ruined the essential innocence [sic] in myself that could make it that possible [sic], and the fact that I have abused liquor is something to be paid for with suffering and death perhaps but not renunciation.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Poetry is either something tha...

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you -- like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist -- or else it is nothing, an empty, formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.

It was about then [1920] that I wrote a line which certain people will not let me forget: 'She was a faded but still lovely woman of twenty-seven.'

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

If he had to bring all the bit...

If he had to bring all the bitterness and hatred of the world into his heart, he was not going to be in love with her again.

Who would not be pleased at carrying lamps helpfully through the darkness?

Happiness, remarked Maury Noble one day, is only the first hour after the alleviation of some especially intense misery.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

He was handsome then if never ...

He was handsome then if never before, bound for one of those immortal moments which come so radiantly that their remembered light is enough to see by for years.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

The unwelcome November rain had perversely stolen the day's last hour and pawned it with that ancient fence, the night.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Never befuddle a solitary thra...

Never befuddle a solitary thrashing with a last annihilation.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

What a wonderful song, she tho...

What a wonderful song, she thought-everything was wonderful tonight, most of all this romantic scene in the den with their hands clinging and the inevitable looming charmingly close. The future vista of her life seemed an unending succession of scenes like this: under moonlight and pale starlight, and in the backs of warm limousines and in low cosy roadsters stopped under sheltering trees-only the boy might change, and this one was so nice.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Don't let yourself feel worthl...

Don't let yourself feel worthless: often through life you will really be at your worst when you seem to think best of yourself; and don't worry about losing your 'personality,' as you persist in calling it: at fifteen you had the radiance of early morning, at twenty you will begin to have the melancholy brilliance of the moon, and when you are my age you will give out, as I do, the genial golden warmth of 4 p.m.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Those days are over. I have to...

Those days are over. I have to be won all over again every time you see me.
