“Often a man can play the helpless child in front of a woman, but he can almost never bring it off when he feels most like a helpless child.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night

“You're the only girl I've seen for a long time that actually did look like something blooming.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night

“One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or of the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night

“People living alone get used to loneliness.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night
