I'm one of those people who go through the world giving other people thrills, but getting few myself except those I read into men on such nights as these. I have the social courage to go on the stage, but not the energy; I haven't the patience to write books; and I never met a man I'd marry. However, I'm only eighteen.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

You know I'm old in some ways-...

You know I'm old in some ways-in others-well, I'm just a little girl. I like sunshine and pretty things and cheerfulness-and I dread responsibility.

You are mine-you know you're mine!' he cried wildly...the moonlight twisted in through the vines and listened...the fireflies hung upon their whispers as if to win his glance from the glory of their eyes.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Then a strange thing happened....

Then a strange thing happened. She turned to him and smiled, and as he saw her smile every rag of anger and hurt vanity dropped form him - as though his very moods were but the outer ripples of her own, as though emotion rose no longer in his breast unless she saw fit to pull an omnipotent controlling thread.

A sense of responsibility would spoil her. She's too pretty.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

She was incomprehensible, for,...

She was incomprehensible, for, in her, soul and spirit were one - the beauty of her body was the essence of her soul. She was that unity sought for by philosophers through many centuries. In this outdoor waiting room of winds and stars she had been sitting for a hundred years, at peace in the contemplation of herself.

Beware the artist who's an intellectual also. The artist who doesn't fit.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Of course all life is a proces...

Of course all life is a process of breaking down, but the blows that do the dramatic side of the work-- the big sudden blows that come, or seem to come, from outside-- the ones you remember and blame things on and, in moments of weakness, tell your friends about, don't show their effect all at once. There is another sort of blow that comes from within-that you don't feel until it's too late to do anything about it, until you realize with finality that in some regard you will never be as good a man again.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

I hope you live a life you're ...

I hope you live a life you're proud of.

So they were desperately in love and being desperately in love involves a desperate existence.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

But you can love more than jus...

But you can love more than just one person, can't you?

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

I suppose the latest thing is ...

I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife.

We all must try to be good....

We all must try to be good.

Intelligence is a mere instrument of circumstances.

I was a little shocked at the elaborateness of the lie.
