I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can... - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

"The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly."

"Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead."

"I’ve been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library."

"I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life."

"And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy."
