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

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

"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."

"The victor belongs to the spoils."

"Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke."
