Scott

Famous quotes containing the word scott:

    No such thing as a man willing to be honest—that would be like a blind man willing to see.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Earth and I gave you turquoise
    when you walked singing
    We lived laughing in my house
    and told old stories
    —N. Scott Momaday (b. 1934)

    One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
