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

"That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong."

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

"It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living."

"An artist is someone who can hold two opposing viewpoints and still remain fully functional."

"The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young."
