F Scott Fitzgerald Quotes Novels & Stories

"I mean, I appreciate the compliments, but I don't want you to feel pressured or anything." Fiona looked up at Scott with a warm smile, her eyes filled with affection. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. It's just that you're really amazing, and I can't help but be honest about how I feel." "Scott, your body shape is like that of a Greek God!" Fiona said with a sweet chuckle. "Greek God?" Scott repeated in another confusion yet again. "Yes," she simply said. Scott couldn't help but feel fascinated, amazed and bewildered by Fiona's comparisons. "I think you might be exaggerating a bit," he said, a small grin forming on his lips. "But I appreciate the sentiment. I just don't see myself tha

“You’ve got quite the sense of humor.” The elevator dinged. The doors slid open. The two men stepped inside. “Ever heard the saying, ‘proximity breeds opportunity’?” Scott asked, his reflection sharp in the mirrored elevator walls. Sean’s smile didn’t waver. “Sure. But how about, ‘don’t fish in your own pond’?” Scott flinched—just barely—but recovered quickly. “Well,” he said coolly, “between an old flame and an office fling, I’d say the old flame’s a harder sell. Leftovers don’t taste as good the second time. No excitement. No mystery.”

It was a compilation of all the famous quotes that motivated me to push forward. I opened a random page and saw old tear stains on the page, the tears that I cried six months ago. - Stars can't shine without darkness. I smiled ruefully as I read the sentence and then flipped through the pages. I missed my sister a lot. - Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

I took a mental picture in my head because in fifty years when I'm old and gray, all I wanted to remember was this moment. Slowly, I pulled us back down so that we were lying on the sand again. For the longest time, we lay there, just staring at each other in knowing secrecy. Surrounded by the sound of the waves and the thousands of stars as our witness. "I wish I'd done everything on earth with you," I said quoting Fitzgerald, which I knew was her favorite author, and luckily mine too. And as soon as she heard it, she looked at me with those twinkling eyes. A wild grin escaped her lips. Without any warning, she grabbed my face and kissed me hard. This was the first time she ever made the fi

he said with excitement and she smiled as he began to narrate the ordeal of their meeting. "I've never seen my brother so excited all his life, except for the times you were spending with Jessica back then," she said and he smiled "True friends are actually like diamonds and they're one of the most valuable things you can ever get" he said with his face beaming with a smile "Look at you, giving us friendship quotes" she said as she laughed "Hey, why did you have to act that way in front of him?" He asked again She sighed and increased the speed of the car.

'He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it; Who has left the world better than he found it, Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; Whose life was an inspiration; Whose memory a benediction. Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You ha

He uttered as he glimpsed at me. "Isn't it too late for that? We're married already." "I disagree. Haven't you heard the quote by Mitch Albom? There is no such thing as too late in life." "Oh, I just heard it now." I was amazed. I didn't expect that a man like him would believe in quotes. "Now, you know." He grinned. Then, we became silent again. After a while, I took the courage to bring up the incident earlier. I turned to him as I wanted to see his reaction. "Alfred, about the trouble earlier."

He finally figured out the answer. “To define is to limit.” That was the quote by Oscar Wilde that he cherished. “Now, I understand, Joe. I finally understand this quote! I finally understand that everything is possible! I can do everything and anything. I am free. I don’t have to limit myself to be whoever I am expected to be. Everything is possible! Everything! I felt so relieved thinking about this. I’m beginning a new life! Yes! I can begin a new life!”

"That is literally what we are discussing." "Sure." One word. Completely neutral. I write three more bullet points without reading them back. He is doing something deliberate. Saying things that are technically about the assignment and technically about me simultaneously, and doing it with enough plausible distance that I cannot call him on it directly without admitting that I know exactly what he means. It is infuriating. It is also, I realize with considerable irritation, exactly what I would do. "Fitzgerald," I say, moving on. "After Zelda's breakdown and his own public collapse, he essentially became a cautionary tale while he was still alive. Everyone wrote him off."

No matter how difficult it may be to do for me today. It may be challenging. But it's pretty easy to excel in life. I will apologise to myself. I shouldn't begin my life on a negative note. I need to be brave to see life differently. I need to excel. Yes, I need to grow in life. I have grown stronger than who I have been those dead years. Not dead years. Years passed by. I don't very much appreciate the word death or dead in usage. I end my day's note with a new quote: "Maybe there is a super microbe which, if present in large numbers in my body, can make me live forever." I may be right in that. I will explore it today.
