Fitzgerald

Famous quotes containing the word fitzgerald:

    The test of a given phrase would be: Is it worthy to be immortal? To “make a beeline” for something. That’s worthy of being immortal and is immortal in English idiom. “I guess I’ll split” is not going to be immortal and is excludable, therefore excluded.
    —Robert Fitzgerald (1910–1985)

    All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    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)
