“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

“I learned a little of beauty-- enough to know that it had nothing to do with truth...”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

“Everybody's youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness.'
'How pleasant then to be insane!”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Diamond as Big as the Ritz, and Other Stories

“Experience is the name so many people give to their mistakes.”
― Francis Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
