Fitzgerald

Famous quotes containing the word fitzgerald:

    Sometimes I think that idlers seem to be a special class for whom nothing can be planned, plead as one will with them—their only contribution to the human family is to warm a seat at the common table.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    There used to be two kinds of kisses. First when girls were kissed and deserted; second, when they were engaged. Now there’s a third kind, where the man is kissed and deserted. If Mr. Jones of the nineties bragged he’d kissed a girl, everyone knew he was through with her. If Mr. Jones of 1919 brags the same everyone knows it’s because he can’t kiss her any more. Given a decent start any girl can beat a man nowadays.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
