...I think he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes.

But I suppose you must touch life in order to spring from it.

So I walked away and left him ...

So I walked away and left him standing there in the moonlight - watching over nothing.

I'm restless. My whole generat...

I'm restless. My whole generation is restless. 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. Even if I had no talents I'd not be content to work ten years, condemned either to celibacy or a furtive indulgence, to give some man's son an automobile.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Modern life... changes no long...

Modern life... changes no longer century by century, but year by year, ten times faster than it ever has before-populations doubling, civilizations unified more closely with other civilizations, economic interdependence, racial questions, and-we're dawdling along. My idea is that we've got to go very much faster.

Progress was a labyrinth ... people plunging blindly in and then rushing wildly back, shouting that they had found it ... the invisible king-the Г©lan vital-the principle of evolution ... writing a book, starting a war, founding a school...

Never walk near the bed; to a ghost your ankle is your most vulnerable part-once in bed, you're safe; he may lie around under the bed all night, but you're safe as daylight. If you still have doubts pull the blanket over your head.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

The failure and the success bo...

The failure and the success both believe in their hearts that they have accurately balanced points of view, the success because he's succeeded, and the failure because he's failed. The successful man tells his son to profit by his father's good fortune, and the failure tells his son to profit by his father's mistakes.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

The bar is in full swing, and ...

The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside, until the air is alivewith chatter and laughter, and casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot, and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other's names.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

It was one of those rare smile...

It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Most affectations conceal some...

Most affectations conceal something eventually, even though they don't in the beginning.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time. - The Great Gatsby.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Prose talent depends on having something to say and an interesting, highly developed way of saying it.

All things come to him who mates.

...for a moment people set down their glasses in county clubs and speak-easies and thought of their old best dreams.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Life was a damned muddle - a football game with everyone offside and the referee gotten rid of - everyone claiming the referee would have been on his side.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

The water reached up for her, ...

The water reached up for her, pulled her down tenderly out of the heat, seeped in her hair and ran into the corners of her body. She turned round and round in it, embracing it, wallowing in it.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Now he realized the truth: tha...

Now he realized the truth: that sacrifice was no purchase of freedom. It was like a great elective office, it was like an inheritance of power - to certain people at certain times an essential luxury, carrying with it not a guarantee but a responsibility, not a security but an infinite risk. Its very momentum might drag him down to ruin - the passing of the emotional wave that made it possible might leave the one who made it high and dry forever on an island of despair...Sacrifice by its very nature was arrogant and im

Possibly it had occurred to him the colossal significance of that light had now vanished forever. [...] It had seemed as close as a star to the moon. Now it was a green light on a dock. His count of enchanted objects had diminished by one.

The greatest profound pain is cased by, and is the result of our own illusions, fantasies and dreams.
