Zelda Fitzgerald quotes about
summer dog nice
I wish we could spend July by the sea, browning ourselves and feeling water-weighted hair flow behind us from a dive. I wish our gravest concerns were the summer gnats. I wish we were hungry for hot dogs and dopes, and it would be nice to smell the starch of summer linens and the faint odor of talc in blistering summer bath houses ... We could lie in long citoneuse beams of the five o'clock sun on the plage at Juan-les-Pins and hear the sound of the drum and piano being scooped out to sea by the waves.
summer song philosophy
We walked at night towards a cafe blooming with Japanese lanterns and I followed your white shoes gleaming like radium in the damp darkness. Rising off the water, lights flickered an invitation far enough away to be interpreted as we liked; to shimmer glamourously behind the silhouette of retrospective good times when we still believed in summer hotels and the philosophies of popular songs.
summer self goal
It seemed to Alabama that, reaching her goal, she would drive the devils that had driven her - that, in proving herself, she would achieve that peace which she imagined went only in surety of one’s self - that she would be able, through the medium of the dance, to command her emotions, to summon love or pity or happiness at will, having provided a channel through which they might flow. She drove herself mercilessly, and the summer dragged on.
summer dream moon
I play the radio and moon about...and dream of Utopias where its always July the 24th 1935, in the middle of summer forever.
summer spring errors
Life has puffed and blown itself into a summer day, and clouds and spring billow over the heavens as if calendars were a listing of mathematical errors.
begins believe seems spells
Mr. Fitzgerald, I believe that is how he spells his name, seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home.
heart human nobody
Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the human heart can hold.
estate feeling life man secret somebody woman
Oh, the secret life of man and woman --dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest.
sun bullfighting sun-also-rises
["The Sun Also Rises" is about] bullfighting, bullslinging and bullsh[*]t.
understanding experience able
Nobody has ever been able to experience what they have thoroughly understood - or understand what they have experienced until they have achieved a detachment that renders them incapable of repeating the experience.
experience want teach
Experience teaches you how to do things you never want to do again.
illusion
One illusion is as good as another.
imagination quality wonderful
I am really only myself when I'm somebody else whom I have endowed with these wonderful qualities from my imagination.
sleep gains conformity
It's terrible to allow conventional habits to gain a hold on a whole household; to eat, sleep and live by clock ticks.
