Something was making him nibble at the edge of stale ideas as if his sturdy physical egotism no longer nourished his peremptory heart.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

At the enchanted metropolitan ...

At the enchanted metropolitan twilight I felt a haunting loneliness sometimes, and felt it in others -- poor young clerks who loitered in front of windows waiting until it was time for a solitary restaurant dinner -- young clerks in the dusk, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life.

He had angered Providence by resisting too many temptations. There was nothing left but heaven, where he would meet only those who, like him, had wasted earth.

Over the great bridge, with th...

Over the great bridge, with the sunlight through the girders making a constant flicker upon the moving cars, with the city rising up across the river in white heaps and sugar lumps all built with a wish out of non-olfactory money. The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

Girls like you are responsible...

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!

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

The things that'll make you fail I'll love always.

It's a great advantage not to drink among hard-drinking people. You can hold your tongue, and, moreover, you can time any little irregularity of your own so that everybody else is so blind that they don't see or care.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

I felt that I wanted the world...

I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart.

I'm a cynical idealist.

Want any of this stuff? Jordan?... Nick?' I didn't answer. Nick?' he asked again. What?' Want any?' No... I just remembered that today's my birthday.' I was thirty. Before me stretched the portentous, menacing road of a new decade.

Francis Fitzgerald 799 quotes

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.

Never befuddle a solitary thrashing with a last annihilation.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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