Scott

Famous quotes containing the word scott:

    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)

    My idea is always to reach my generation. The wise writer ... writes for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever afterward.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
