F. Scott Fitzgerald

Was an American novelist, essayist, and short story writer. He is best known for his novels depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age, a term he popularized in his short story collection Tales of the Jazz Age.

To a profound pessimist about life, being in danger is not depressing.
After all, life hasn't much to offer except youth, and I suppose for older people, the love of youth in others.
The world, as a rule, does not live on beaches and in country clubs.
I've been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library.
Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.
Switzerland is a country where very few things begin, but many things end.
Forgotten is forgiven.
Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.
It occurred to me that there was no difference between men, in intelligence or race, so profound as the difference between the sick and the well.
