“There was one of his lonelinesses coming, one of those times when he walked the streets or sat, aimless and depressed, biting a pencil at his desk. It was a self-absorption with no comfort, a demand for expression with no outlet, a sense of time rushing by, ceaselessly and wastefully - assuaged only by that conviction that there was nothing to waste, because all efforts and attainments were equally valueless.”
― Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

“Was it the infinite sadness of her eyes that drew him or the mirror of himself that he found in the gorgeous clarity of her mind?”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise

“آخر حب هو أعمق حب لأن البنت تحب رجلها بكل خبراتها. وبكل تطورها . وتاريخها .. وتبادله مسرات كثيرة لا حد لها ..
وليس صحيحاً أن أول حب هو أعظم حب .. والصحيح أن أول حب .. هو أصغر حب ..
وأكبر غلطة يرتكبها الرجل أن يتزوج أول حبه.. !”
― مصطفى محمود, في الحب والحياة

“Suddenly she realized that what she was regretting was not the lost past but the lost future, not what had not been but what would never be.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald
