Fitzgerald

Famous quotes containing the word fitzgerald:

    Once one is caught up into the material world not one person in ten thousand finds the time to form literary taste, to examine the validity of philosophic concepts for himself, or to form what, for lack of a better phrase, I might call the wise and tragic sense of life.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    How strange to have failed as a social creature—even criminals do not fail that way—they are the law’s “Loyal Opposition,” so to speak. But the insane are always mere guests on earth, eternal strangers carrying around broken decalogues that they cannot read.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Either you think—or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
