Scott

Famous quotes containing the word scott:

    Grown up, and that is a terribly hard thing to do. It is much easier to skip it and go from one childhood to another.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    In a few days I’ll have lived one score and three days in this vale of tears. On I plod—always bored, often drunk, doing no penance for my faults—rather do I become more tolerant of myself from day to day, hardening my crystal heart with blasphemous humor and shunning only toothpicks, pathos, and poverty as being the three unforgivable things in life.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
