Quotes F.scott Fitzgerald นิยาย & เรื่องราว

“It's just that, I can't believe I'm here right now. I never thought I'd be sipping champagne with Carter Winthrow. Not to mention I'm about to go and eat at La Reve. It feels kind of surreal.” Carter kept his gaze on me while I spoke. “Act as if you're where you want to be, and as surely as you can feel your own breath, you'll get there.” “Is that a quote?” I asked. “Who said that? Thoreau? Emerson?” He shook his head. “My father. I'd heard him say it countless times when I was growing up. It stuck with me.” “Was he involved with stocks too?” I asked, instantly wondering if I was crossing the line by prying.

Next to it, a quote read: The best way to find out if you can trust someone is to trust them. “That’s the work of Black Crimson,” I said. “You like it?” “It’s breathtaking,” she murmured. “And the quote sounds like someone famous should’ve written it.” “Someone famous did write it. Ernest Hemingway,” I said. When she glanced at me, I shrugged. “I had to look it up after the first time I saw the painting.” Nodding, she glanced back over her shoulder to take in the last of the masterpiece before we’d driven past it completely. Turning forward again, she asked, “Who’s Black Crimson?”

My fingertips touched the worn covers, the yellowed pages, the notes he had written in the margins in his slanted handwriting. “Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.” Romeo and Juliet. I opened the book exactly to the page of the quote, as if my hands knew the way. I knew that passage by heart. How many times had we read it together, lying in bed, his head in my lap while I recited Shakespeare and he closed his eyes, a smile on his lips? “Ma’am?” One of the men approached, his voice hesitant. He was young, maybe twenty-something, and looked at me with a mixture of pity and discomfort. “Are you all right?”

He flips through the pages with a skeptical eyebrow. “Cliché number one,” he mutters. “Rain-slicked streets. Cliché number two, ‘Her scent reminded me of regret and cigarettes.’” He closes it with a snap. “You can do better.” “And here I thought you were going to defend your people.” “What, FBI agents with tortured souls?” “Exactly.” His mouth curves with half amusement, half something else. He reaches into the stack beside us, pulls out a paperback with a battered spine. “Here. Try this instead. And I quit remember? My soul is smooth as glass.”

I raised my glass to offer a toast. “I’m not good with words. And Goddess knows I don’t deserve a mate as beautiful and wonderful as you. But you make me want to be better, to do better. And I want you to know that even if you choose not to accept our bond, I will still never stop trying to be the man you deserve.” I chuckled humorlessly at myself, shaking my head. “Like I said, I’m not good with words, so I’ll use someone else’s . . . I lost my way all the way to you, and in you I found my way.” And with that, I clinked my glass to hers. “Atticus.” She whispered, referencing the source of my quote. A lone tear rolled down her cheek and she quickly wiped it away.

Spine cracked at the part we'd argued about during our first tutoring session. The green light. She'd said it was about hope. I'd said it was about wanting something you know will destroy you and reaching for it anyway. She'd looked at me across the table with those dark eyes and said that's not what Fitzgerald meant and I'd said maybe not, but it's what he wrote. I still think I was right.

Scott Fitzgerald- *** Warm ray of sunlight welcomed her at the exit, she still had some time before lunch, and thought that she might be able to visit one more place, picking up her guide book, she flipped through the pages and searched for the most popular places in the neighborhood.

"What are you talking about? We closed all those loopholes." Sophia maintains her unwavering gaze, a triumphant smile playing on her lips. "Did we?" she asked, her voice dripping with confidence.

Close enough that he can catch a whiff of the light, alluring fragrance of her Chanel Les Exclusifs Gardenia. Sophia leans in, her eyes captivating as she whispers seductively, "You know, Mr. Stone, I love The Godfather too. But my favorite quote is spoken by Calo. Do you know which one that is? No?"
