“Things are sweeter when they're lost. I know--because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly, Dot, and when I got it it turned to dust in my hand.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

“I don't care about truth. I want some happiness.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

“And that taught me you can't have anything, you can't have anything at all. Because desire just cheats you. It's like a sunbeam skipping here and there about a room. It stops and gilds some inconsequential object, and we poor fools try to grasp it - but when we do the sunbeam moves on to something else, and you've got the inconsequential part, but the glitter that made you want it is gone.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

“Happiness, remarked Maury Noble one day, is only the first hour after the alleviation of some especially intense misery.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned
