F. Scott Fitzgerald

Date of Birth:

25-Sep-1896

Nationality:

United States

Profession:

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (also known as F. Scott Fitzgerald) was a short story writer and theologian regarded as one of the greatest writers in American literary history because of the great prosperity of his third book, The Great Gatsby. Perhaps a double-edged American novel, as well as a clear social history of the Jazz Age, the Great Gatsby has had to be read by almost every American high school student and has had a lasting impact on generations of students. At 24, the success of his first novel, This Side of Paradise, made Fitzgerald famous. One week later, he married his favorite woman and his museum, Zelda Sayre. However, in the late 1920s Fitzgerald came down and drank, and Zelda had a mental breakdown. After the failure of Tender is the Night, Fitzgerald moved to Hollywood and became a scriptwriter. He died of a heart attack in 1940, at the age of 44, just after his latest novel.

QUOTES BY F. Scott Fitzgerald

I love her, and that’s the beginning and end of everything.

In any case, you must not confuse a single failure with a final defeat.

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

"I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."

"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."

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

"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."

"I don't want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again."

"Angry, and half in love with her, and tremendously sorry, I turned away."

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