“She was overstrained with grief and loneliness: almost any shoulder would have done as well.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby Girls

“My courage is faith--faith in the eternal resilience of me--that joy'll come back, and hope and spontaneity. And I feel that till it does I've got to keep my lips shut and my chin high and my eyes wide--not necessarily any silly smiling. Oh, I've been through hell without a whine quite often--and the female hell is deadlier than the male.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby Girls

“no girl can permanently bolster up a lame-duck visitor, because these day it's every girl for herself.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby Girls

“I hope I haven't given you the impression that I consider kissing intrinsically irrational.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby Girls
