"I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald (via coello)
”And, Amory, we’re beautiful, I
know. I’m sure God loves us-“
”He loves you. You’re his most
precious possession.”
”Im not his, I’m yours. Amory, I
belong to you. For the first time I
regret all the other kisses; now I
know how much a kiss can mean”
-F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
"If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promise of life, as if he related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away. This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the ‘creative temperament’-it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again. No - Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald (via slekes)
"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (via modernhepburn)
