It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving,... - F. Scott Fitzgerald

"It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won't save us any more than love did."

"For what it's worth: it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you find you're not, I hope you have the strength to start over again."

"A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain."

"Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy."

"After all, life hasn't much to offer except youth, and I suppose for older people, the love of youth in others."
