Scott

Famous quotes containing the word scott:

    I’m a romantic—a sentimental person thinks things will last—a romantic person hopes against hope that they won’t.
    —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)

    The idea that to make a man work you’ve got to hold gold in front of his eyes is a growth, not an axiom. We’ve done that for so long that we’ve forgotten there’s any other way.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
